Adult Faith Formation
Preparing for Your Child's Baptism
Before Baptism, parents of a newborn or young child are invited to attend a 90 minute session that provides an opportunity to share about the meaning of baptism in one's own life, discuss the Rite of Baptism, and reflect on the vocation of Christian parenting. These sessions are held once a month, usually on a Saturday morning.


Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is a conversion process for adults interested in becoming Catholic or adult Catholics who are in need of one or more sacraments. Participants are invited to learn more about their faith, the Catholic Church, and church teaching. Through the depth and richness of the church’s liturgical year, adults are invited to develop a deeper relationship with Christ and the Body of Christ. Classes begin in September and continue weekly on Sunday mornings through May. Because of our ethnic diversity, the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults process is offered in various languages.
