Becoming Catholic...

RCIA stands for “Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults”, and it is the program by which adults can prepare and enter the Catholic Church. Those who wish to become Catholic are received into the Church every year at the Easter Vigil Mass or another time. 
The RCIA process focuses on catechesis (The Creed, sacraments, prayer, moral life), but also aims to incorporate activities that help participants better understand Catholic liturgy, prayer, and customs in his/her conversion. We welcome anyone who is interested in learning more about God and the Catholic faith.

RCIA Meetings occur once a week on Sundays after the 9:30 am Mass. and are conducted by trained and certified staff and team members. As the year progresses RCIA members also have various opportunities to participate in Church and social functions and service projects - thus becoming integrated members of the St. John Neumann Community.

RCIA Process is essentially a loving immersion into the Mystery of the Church in which Jesus Christ is truly active and present in His community of believers. It facilitates a conversion of the heart to our loving God through Jesus Christ - Our Lord and Savior!
