Becoming Catholic - Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)

Are you interested in becoming Catholic? RCIA is for you!
RCIA: Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is an adaptation of the traditions of the early Church in bringing new members into the Catholic community. It is a process by which the candidates enter into the Catholic community by entering a step-by-step process toward full membership in the Church. The RCIA program is open to anyone who wishes to explore the Catholic faith but has not completed the reception of the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist). Those who are practicing Catholics who wish to learn more about their faith and renew their commitment to Christ are also invited to join this group as sponsors in both English and Spanish. 
 
For more information, please call the Church Office at 254-634-7878.

Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) and Adult Confirmation Classes for the RCIA and Adult Confirmation will begin on Thursday September 7th in the new Catholic Charities building. If you are wanting to become Catholic, coming from another faith , or have had no religious upbringing, or you are an Adult Catholic and you do not have Baptism or Holy Communion or Confirmation( or any combination of these Sacraments) please sign up on the Church website https://stjosephkilleen.org/adult-confirmation We will meet on Thursdays starting on September 7th until May 16th with a long Christmas break and another one at Spring break.
