Baptism for Adults at St Mary's

 

Do you want to join our Catholic faith and to become one of us?

​

The Catholic Church is a beautiful, rich and deep treasure of Faith. There are about 1.2 billion Catholics worldwide and we are truly universal.

We welcome all people into the embrace of Christ and His Church, regardless of age, economic status, race, gender, struggles or successes.

​

No matter where are you coming from, there is a home for you here!

If you are interested in entering fully into the Catholic Church or learning more about what it means to live out the Catholic Faith, then the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) is for you! These sessions are for:

  • Adults who are not baptized

  • Adults who come from another faith 

  • Baptized Catholics who want to celebrate the Sacraments of Eucharist and/or Confirmation

  • Anyone who wants to learn more about the Catholic Faith

 

 The Catholic RCIA stages are a good model of basic faith development.
So, you're developing your faith. Great! Is it a little overwhelming? It doesn't have to be!

 

Where do I begin?
Well, you just begin from where you are now! Many adults entering the Catholic Church, or those just thinking about it, follow a process known as the RCIA—the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults.


The RCIA process has several distinct stages. These Catholic RCIA stages are a good model of faith development itself, so this
article will fit you whether or not you're actually in the RCIA process.
