Purpose: The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the process by which men, women and children of catechetical age are initiated into membership in the Catholic Church. Through joining with the parish at Sunday Liturgy and Catechetical Sessions, potential converts are invited to come to know the Church and to discern the call of Christ in their lives.
Information: The RCIA team serves as catechists, facilitators and coordinators. The Parish community lends its support through prayer, hospitality and witness.
The Initial Inquiry, (also called precatechumenate), are sessions which present an opportunity for interested people to meet on an informal basis to begin considering the Catholic faith.tc "The Initial Inquiry, (also called precatechumenate), are sessions which present an opportunity for interested people to meet on an informal basis to begin considering the Catholic faith."

Purpose: Christ Renews His Parish is designed to
give both the individual and the parish an opportunity for renewal and growth in
the spiritual family of the church It is also an opportunity for prayer and
faith sharing in the awareness of God’s love and how we can respond to His
call to help us grow together as a Christian parish family.
What Happens on the
Weekend? Most who have taken part in the weekend say, “You can’t explain
what happens: you have to experience it for yourself.” The 30-hour Christ
Renews His Parish Process includes: group activities and discussions; prayer
together; reflection talks by the giving team on topics such as The Father’s
Loving Care for Us, Scripture, Eucharist, and the Christian Life, as well as
private reflection. A Reconciliation service with individual Confession and a
Eucharistic celebration are integral parts of each weekend. The weekend will begin at
Description:
M.O.M.S: The Ministry of Mother’s Sharing is a group of mothers of all
ages that learn to share the stress, concerns, and positive experiences that
have influenced personal growth. Experience the support of other women as
you discover the depth of your spirituality. This ministry is for women
who devote their time of the spiritual and physical upbringing of their
children, who live stressful lives, who live with many demands on their time and
energy, and who need a place to receive personal and spiritual nurturing.
The only requirements are the ability to keep confidentiality, the desire to
grow by sharing, and the ability to support other mothers in their personal
spiritual growth.

Purpose: One of the greatest challenges facing families today is how to pass along Christian values to generations to come.
The Fathering Ministry centers are efforts on providing resources to fathers and grandfathers that will help them fulfill God’s mandate. These seminars have become popular because dads are realizing that there is a battle going on and their children are the spoils. Most fathers have received little or no training in parenthood. A program that helps them understand God’s purpose for fathers, while providing help developing parenting skills, is well worth the time.
