Rite
of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA):
Adults who
wish to be initiated into
the Catholic faith through the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and
Eucharist journey
through an eight month period of formation. The sessions
begin in the fall, generally one night a week on a day that best works
for the
candidates. These individuals study the doctrines of the Catholic
Faith,
participate in retreats, and celebrate several
liturgical rites that mark
passages in their journey of initiation. All are received into the
Catholic
faith on Holy Saturday night at
the Easter Vigil Service. The newly received
individuals are then welcomed into the different ministries offered at
St.
Wenceslaus Church.
