RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults)

Would you like to learn more about the Catholic faith? Do you know someone who has expressed a desire to learn about the faith, or who you suspect may be interested? While RCIA is the common way for adults to join the Catholic Church, becoming a member of the class does not mean that you are committed to joining the Church. It only means that you are interested in exploring and learning about the Catholic Church with a group of like-minded people. 

If you are:

  • Unbaptized, • or a baptized Christian from a Protestant or Evangelical background
  • Or a high school age or adult, baptized Catholic, who has not yet had First Communion   or perhaps has never been Confirmed
  • Or a Catholic who wants to strengthen & enrich your faith life--these classes are for you!

RCIA classes are on Thursday evenings from 7-9 p.m. and will begin in September on the Thursday after Labor Day.  Classes conclude 4 weeks after Easter.  CONTACT PERSON:  Tom Schrad, (402) 493-4112; tcschrad53@gmail.com
