RCIA
RCIA - Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults
- Our Lord's parting words to his disciples were, "Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age" (Mt. 28:19-20).

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) describes the RCIA as a process in which participants "undergo . . . conversion as they study the Gospel, profess Faith in Jesus and the Catholic Church, and receive the sacraments . . . The RCIA process follows the ancient practice of the Church and was restored by the Second Vatican Council."
Do you know of someone interested in becoming a Catholic? Do you know a Baptized Catholic that needs to receive the Sacraments of First Holy Communion and or Confirmation? Are you interested in learning more about your Faith as a Catholic?

Infant Baptism
Congratulations to all new parents and welcome to the children!
Through the Sacrament of Baptism, we are freed from original sin and reborn as sons of God; we become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church, and are sharers of her Mission. (CCC1213).
We, the Parish Community of Saints Peter & Paul, pray that our words and actions may lead these newly baptized children to the wonder of God's love for them. We pledge our prayers and support to you, the parents, and the families who have been gifted with these children.
