The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)
Are you interested in becoming Catholic or completing your initiation into the Catholic Church? Please consider joining us for the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) program at Old St. Patrick's. The program begins in October and runs through April. Approximately forty people have been welcomed into the church each of the last few years through the R.C.I.A. program. The RCIA is an engaging, dynamic, respectful, challenging and - ENJOYABLE journey. Members of Old St. Patrick's graciously host the RCIA.
The spirit and passion of the RCIA program at Old St. Patrick's is captured by the contemporary spiritual author Anne LaMott who reflects: "I do not know much about the mystery of grace, but I do know that it meets us where we are and does not leave us where it finds us."
If you are interested in registering for this program, or if you know someone who is interested in exploring Catholicism through the RCIA program at Old St. Pat's, please call or e-mail Keara Coughlin at kearac@oldstpats.org or 312.798.2328.
