All who desire to become Catholic enter a period of instruction called the catechumenate – an ancient Christian term for this time of preparation. The catechumenate is a spiritual journey designed to deepen your relationship with Christ and His Body – the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. In addition to instruction, those seeking to enter into full communion with the Catholic Church receive special prayers and blessings according to the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA). Our RCIA program allows you to explore the basics of the Catholic faith, worship, and way of life. We invite you to join us!

Kids ministry will focus on four key components: basic Bible stories, to understand the foundations of our Catholic faith; the essential doctrines as expressed in the Apostles Creed; a virtue of the month to be practiced; and a saint of the month whose example we follow! Also, we will learn about basic Catholic devotions such as the Rosary, Eucharistic Adoration, Stations of the Cross, and the Divine Mercy chaplet. Through these activities, we hope to provide opportunities for our children to develop a personal relationship with Jesus and love for his Church.
