RCIA: The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)

The RCIA family for the Vine and Branches Area Faith Community is a comprehensive program of study and experience for those interesed in becoming Roman Catholic or seeking more understanding of those who practice the Roman Catholic faith. In the last few years, the program has grown from single students to a small group gathering time. In offering individual care for specific needs, we have created a positive atmosphere for learning and understanding. We study from a variety of source catechisis handbooks using the holy scriptures as our guide. Practicing different forms of prayer and sharing life stories, we have a dynamic team of facilitators with a variety of backgrounds to teach a strong foundation.

We welcome anyone to begin the process of looking at and considering the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. We invite all to our church community and look forward to traveling together in the journey of RCIA.
