Adults seeking Baptism, baptized Christians seeking full communion with the Catholic Church and baptized Catholics who want to
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (U.S. edition, 1988) reminds us: "The people of God, as represented by the local church, should understand...that the initiation of adults is the responsibility of all the baptized."
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the process by which adults and children age 7 and above interested in becoming Catholic enter the Church,complete their initiation with both the sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist are invited to join us for our initial inquiry sessions on Sundays at 11:00am to Noon in Meeting Room 2.
Un-Baptized Children and Youth: If your child/youth is between the ages of 7 and 17, he/she will begin a RCIA (adapted for children) preparation process. At the end of this time, he/she will receive the three sacraments of initiation: Baptism, First Eucharist and Confirmation. Parents of un-baptized children must register their child in Formation. You will then receive information regarding the introductory session from the Faith Formation Office please call the parish office for more details 281-479-8832. As fully initiated members of the Body of Christ, parishioners are invited to support those in this process. Sponsors are especially needed. A person seeking to become Catholic needs a Catholic with whom to walk the journey and experience the faith life of the Church.
