R.C.I.A.—Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults and R.C.I.C. - Rite of Christian Initiation for Children ---is a process for those adults/children interested in learning about the Catholic faith in order to receive the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist.  This process is for all men, women and children who are not baptized or who were baptized in another Christian faith and now are looking to be fully initiated into the Catholic faith.  We also work with those who were baptized in the Catholic faith but never completed the other Sacraments of Initiation –Eucharist and Confirmation. 

Through this journey there will be members of our parish grouping praying for you, attending sessions with you, and sharing their own stories of their Catholic experience. Our team is dedicated, knowledgeable, and supportive and we would love to walk beside you as you explore the Catholic faith. Sessions begin on September 15 and we meet every Tuesday. If you have any questions, or would like to register, please contact Kathy at 724-776-1357 or email kathy@stferd.org.
