RCIA

The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults

 

The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults is the way people over the age of seven are welcomed into the Catholic faith. The RCIA introduces people the Catholic faith and how this faith is lived out. At the same time it introduces those who are taking a look at Catholicism to the Catholic community here at St. Robert’s so we can walk with you on journey of faith.

  • RCIA is for those who have never been baptized in any Christian faith tradition.

  • RCIA is for those who have been baptized in another Christian faith but are searching for a new spiritual home.

  • RCIA is for those who were baptized as Catholics (perhaps as infants) but never had the opportunity to learn about their faith on the way to making their 1st Communion and being confirmed.

For more information about specific areas of the RCIA process, contact Joseph Galluzzo who coordinates the RCIA here at St. Robert’s. He may be reached at joe.galluzzo@comcast.net or by calling the Parish Office at 978.683.8922.
