R.C.I.A.

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (R.C.I.A.) is the process by which those who wish to join the Catholic faith community are welcomed and introduced to the beliefs and practices of the Catholic Church.

For those not yet baptized, this process leads to the Easter Vigil where they receive the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Holy Eucharist.

Those who have been previously baptized in another Christian tradition (e.g. Anglican, Methodist, Lutheran, etc.) are invited to participate fully in the Church through the Sacraments of Confirmation and Holy Eucharist.

Here at Saint Joseph Church, Deacon Tom Zayac and his wife Joanne are in charge of this important ministry.  If you are interested in participating in this process or have  more questions, please contact Deacon Tom or Joanne at: 201-317-6306 or [email protected].
