Yet, O Lord, you are our Father;
we are the clay, and you the potter;
we are all the work of your hands. –Isaiah 64:7
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is the process in which a person who is not baptized or baptized in another faith denomination journeys with others like them and other Catholics to be fully initiated into the Catholic Faith. It is a process of formation.
There are four steps in this formation process which culminates at the Easter Vigil with the celebration of the three Sacraments of Initiation, Baptism, Confirmation, and the Eucharist. The parish community, through its prayers, witness, worship, service, and catechesis, offers the invitation and support for the men and women to initiate into the Catholic Church.
Weekly meetings are held beginning in September and end shortly after Easter. Sponsorship is always needed and is rewarding.
For more information or to inquire about becoming Catholic, please email our RCIA Director, Deacon Dave Tobben (dtob[email protected]) or call the parish office at 636-239-6701.
This foundational study in The Great Adventure Bible Study Series, The Bible Timeline is a fascinating study that takes participants on a journey through the entire Bible. They will go deep into each period of salvation history and discover the amazing story woven throughout all of Scripture. Using a unique color-coded system, they will learn the major people, places, and events of the Bible and see how they all come together to reveal the remarkable story of our faith. The Bible Timeline has been granted the Imprimatur.
