Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (R.C.I.A.)

The Catholic Church has a long, beautiful tradition of receiving people into the Catholic faith.  This page will provide information about that process. If you're interested, please attend our "Come and See" evenings on September 9 & 16, 2020 from 7-8 PM.

Contact Deacon David Belland
Questions regarding the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (R.C.I.A.)
  • Have you ever felt that God is calling you to become a Roman Catholic? 
  • Are you a college student who, for whatever reason, chose not to be confirmed in high school?
  • Are you a non-Catholic college student or adult who has thought about becoming Catholic?
  • Are you curious about Catholicism and would like the opportunity learn more about the Catholic faith?

If you have asked these or other questions that make you wonder about joining the Church, we invite you to talk with us about the process of entering the Church through the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults.  It is a 6-month journey of prayer, and personal exploration to help you understand how God is working in your life.  If you have any questions, please contact the parish office at 608.784.4994 or email Deacon Dave Belland (above).  


For now, we invite you to explore these web resources to learn more about the Catholic faith.
