RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF ADULTS (RCIA)Dear Inquirer, I am honored to welcome you to our church community of St Raphael. This may be a time of inquiring and questioning of the Catholic faith. The RCIA is not a “sign-up” for becoming a Catholic. It is a time for you to seek out the truths and understand the teachings and practices as you journey in the faith through the Catholic Church. If you have made this decision or even if you are not sure and just want to see what Catholicism is all about your time of inquiry will be respected as each person’s faith journey and path of grace is different. Our team will lead the RCIA sessions through teaching, direction, question answering, discussion, and prayer. You can find some Frequently Asked Questions and an explanation of the Four Stages of the RCIA on our website, and then I would like the opportunity to get to know you, go over the Registration Form and understand your needs as you pursue this path. Finally, I pray that the Holy Spirit may guide you and prepare your heart and mind as you continue to seek the way, the truth, and the life which is found in Jesus Christ and His church. Throughout the year, please do not hesitate to ask myself or one of our priests or volunteers for help, a listening ear, prayers, or answers regarding any aspect of the Catholic faith, a personal struggle or question, or simply for support.
