The RCIA program prepares adults who have been baptized in the Catholic Church but still need the sacraments of 1st Communion and/or Confirmation. The program also prepares adults who have not been baptized or have been baptized in another Christian faith and would like to be fully initiated into the Catholic church. For more information, please contact John Earnhardt or visit our RCIA webpage at
