RCIA Classes Begin
Tuesday., Sep. 19, 7-9 pm
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is a process in which adults learn more about the Catholic Faith and discern if they are being led to become a member of the Catholic Church. The process is designed for baptized Catholics who have not received the other sacraments, those who have never been baptized, and those who have been baptized in another faith but are seeking full communion in the Catholic Church. Any adult who might be interested in participating, please contact Deacon Louie Pais at
[email protected] or 704-948-0231.
