The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the process through which interested adults

and older children are gradually introduced to the Roman Catholic faith and way of life. 

​At Saint Josephine Bakhita, we have an RCIA program in place to minister to all who desire to become full members of the Church.

​Examples of people who qualify include:

• a child around seven or older who is connected to the Church
      but has not been baptized;

• someone who is a member of another faith denomination
      who is feeling called to the Catholic Church;

• someone who has been connected to the Catholic Church
       for a while but has never been baptized;

• someone who has been baptized in the Catholic Church
      but has not received very much religious education, 
      First Eucharist or Confirmation.

​​We ask for the prayers and support of the entire parish community as we continue to grow in our ministry of welcoming new members

through the R.C.I.A. process.
