Interested in learning about the Catholic Faith?
Searching for a faith and a welcoming church? If you're considering becoming Catholic, or a Catholic that never received First Reconciliation and First Eucharist, then the RCIA process (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) might be for you. Please consider joining us here at St. Thomas Aquinas! Each year, we present a series of informative sessions for people who are interested in learning more about the Catholic Christian faith. These sessions lay the foundation for becoming Catholic.
The sessions include time for questions and answers and joining the Church is optional. If you think you might be open to hearing more about following Christ in fellowship with our parish and the Roman Catholic Church, please join us and fill out the registration form at the bottom of this page.

WHAT IS RCIA?
The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults introduces adults to the teachings of the Catholic Church, the Bible, and the Sacramental Life. Although specifically designed for those thinking about becoming Catholic, this program is also suited for Catholics wanting to learn more about the teachings of the Church, and for others who are just wondering what the Catholic Church is all about.
RCIA prepares men and women to make a conscious choice whether or not they want to receive the sacraments of initiation offered by the Catholic Church (Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation).

WHAT IF I’M ALREADY CATHOLIC AND WANT TO RECEIVE CONFIRMATION?
For Catholics who have already been baptized and received their First Eucharist, we offer an Adult Confirmation process, which may be a better fit for you than RCIA. Learn more
How do Children Become Catholic?
RCIA – Adapted for Children is for unbaptized children and children baptized in another Christian denomination who are ages 7 through 18 who are seeking the Sacraments of Initiation. Learn more
