St. Joseph Shrine Parish, Brooklyn at 8743 US-12, Brooklyn, MI 49230 US - RCIA - Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults
| RCIA - Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults |
It is never too late to join others in exploring their faith journey. Are you an adult, not baptized or baptized of another faith and seek to become Catholic? Are you an adult, baptized Catholic and have not received First Eucharist and/or Confirmation? Ongoing RCIA Inquiry sessions - Inquiry provides a pressure free forum where participants can ask questions, and as a group explore issues and teachings relating to the Catholic faith. Inquiry sessions provide a safe environment to explore and dispel many of the stereotypes and misunderstandings. The sessions are a comfortable environment to raise and explore many topics, a chance to really question and begin to understand what it means to be Catholic. So, whether you are an adult, baptized Catholic and have not received your remaining sacrament(s), or if you are not baptized or baptized of another faith, Inquiry will provide the next step in your faith journey. After Inquiry, if you decide to continue the RCIA journey, the next step is the Catechumenate, with the Rite of Acceptance. However, at any time, one can decide the time is not right and there is no pressure to continue the process. The journey is what is right for you; we are here to support and guide your journey, whichever direction it may take. We welcome all who are seeking to RCIA Inquiry sessions. If you are interested in being part of Inquiry or learning more about the RCIA process, please contact Anne, Pastoral Associate.
