RCIA - begins
October 6, 2013 - April 13, 2014
All who are interested in becoming Catholic or who are
Catholic and wish to come into
the fullness of their Catholic faith by
receiving Sacraments, join us for RCIA (Rite of Christian
Initiation of Adults) classes. The purpose
of the RCIA is to allow an adult to understand the
gift of Christ, both within themselves
and through the life of the Church. During a six
month period of study and reflection,
each adult who participates will be strengthened
spiritually in the teachings of the
Catholic Faith. At
the conclusion of this instruction, the
adult is ready to join the Church
through the reception of the sacraments of Baptism,
Eucharist, and Confirmation. This takes
place at the Easter Vigil service in the spring. At
St. Joseph Catholic Church there is no cost for joining the RCIA program. In addition,
all are welcome to participate, from those
with no experience in the faith to those
who have been catechized.
For information, please call Rob
Passehl at 815-693-1100 or the rectory at 815-727-9378.
