RCIC

Come to Me

Christian Initiation of Children and Youth (RCIC) is a process designed to prepare children who have reached the age of seven , and their families, for the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist). If your child has been baptized in another Christian Church, we will not baptize her/him again, but will welcome her/him into the Catholic Church.

There are several elements which are basic to the preparation:

• It is a process marked by liturgical rites which are celebrated with the community;
• It is celebrated around the Sunday readings and includes attending Mass;
• It includes weekly children sessions for faith sharing and discussion;
