Adult
Confirmation
For adults who have been
baptized and received Eucharist, we offer preparation for the Rite of
Confirmation. Candidates must first schedule an interview with the
coordinator Nick Sherg, then attend a series of preparation classes. The
Bishop administers the sacrament during the Easter season, but
applicants for confirmation are encouraged to pre-register as soon as
possible. For more information about sacrament preparation for adults,
contact the parish office.

Adult
Education Forums
As Catholics, we are encouraged regularly to educate ourselves about our
faith. At our quarterly forums, professionals and laypersons can come
together to dialogue about contemporary faith issues and how they impact
our everyday, ordinary lives. By sharing and listening to various
perspectives, we can find our common ground of understanding. Watch the
calendar and parish bulletin for upcoming topics and speakers.

Becoming
Catholic
RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults)
The RCIA offers an easy and
comprehensive process for adults seeking initiation into the Catholic
Church. The process consists of four easy steps in which adults can
learn more about the Gospel values of Jesus Christ and the Catholic
tradition. Inquiry classes meet the first and third Wednesdays of the
month from 7:30-9:00 p.m. Persons are asked to schedule an appointment
with the director before starting classes. We
are also in need of RCIA Sponsors
to serve as guides and companions for adults who are becoming catholic.
