What is faith?  How does it grow?  What do Catholics believe and why is it different from other faith traditions?  What does it mean to become a Catholic? ​​​​​​​ Perhaps you or someone you know has such questions.  The RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) is a process to explore these and other questions.  It is often called a journey of faith in which we welcome people to the Catholic family.  It is a program for those who have never been baptized, were baptized in other faith traditions, or were baptized in the Catholic faith, but never completed the Sacraments of Communion and/or Confirmation.        If you or someone you know wants to learn more about this journey, we will be hosting an RCIA information session on Wednesday, April 5th at 7:30 PM in the First Floor Meeting Room at the Ministry Center.  Please contact Deacon George (201-218-8555 or geocarbone@gmail.com) if you would like to attend, have any questions, or would like to meet confidentially prior to the info session.
