The Rite of Christian Initiation of Children (RCIC) is the process for exploring the Catholic faith and entering the Church.

The program is for children ages 7-17, who have not received any formal religious instruction or who have not been baptized. The process is adapted from the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) and is based on the needs of the young person and their religious background.

Parents who are interested in having their child(ren) fully initiated in the Catholic faith should contact the Director of Education & Faith Formation, Sr. Elaine Winter.
