Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA)

In October, we will be forming a class for adults in need of their sacraments, ie: Baptism, First Communion, & Confirmation or adults interested in becoming Catholic or learning more about their Faith. If you or any one you know is interested in this class please call the office 347-4684 ext 10 to register.

Who Is Responsible?

Although parents are the primary catechists of their children, the Church also has rights and obligations regarding her baptized. Each Catholic child is not only part of a Catholic family but also of a Catholic community, and this community shares in the responsibility of catechizing each child. This is the mission of the Catholic schools and religious education programs. The child who has been catechized by his or her parents from infancy now received catechesis from others with the Catholic community. This role of the Church community does not diminish the responsibility of the parents. On the contrary, parents continue in their role as primary catechists as they continue to initiate learning and as they reinforce and enrich what their children are learning in their formal religious education. Indeed, the role of the parent remains absolutely essential in daily guiding and developing the prayer life and sacramental life of the young person.

"Education in the faith by the parents should begin in the child's earliest years. This already happens when family members help one another to grow in faith by the witness of a Christian life in keeping with the Gospel. Family catechesis precedes, accompanies, and enriches other forms of instruction in the faith. Parents have the mission of teaching their children to pray and to discover their vocation as children of God. The parish is the Eucharistic community and the heart of the liturgical life of Christian families; it is a privileged place for the catechesis of children and parents." (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2226).
