Rite of Christian Initiation / RCIA
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults or R.C.I.A. is a restoration of the ancient process of initiation into the Church. The Catholic Church warmly welcomes new members and tries to provide appropriate spiritual formation according to each person's needs. Initiation into the Christian community is not concerned with programs that come and go, but rather with the fundamental values of the Christian way of life –of living lives of justice, service and charity as witnesses of the reign of God - of being Catholic. It is a personal and communal journey of conversion and transformation. The goal is to help people become a part of the worshipping community, the Body of Christ, at St. Mark Parish.
The Christian Initiation process is for the un-baptized adult, the adult baptized in another Christian denomination, or the baptized Catholic adult who is un-catechized, and never celebrated Eucharist and/or Confirmation. This process is also adapted for unbaptized children who are of catechetical age (7yrs. and above). We offer sessions in both English and Spanish.
If you have any questions or are interested in learning more about this process, please contact Debbie Betz, at 972-423-4715, ext. 232 [English] or Ana Rosas at 972-423-4715, ext. 225 [Spanish]
There are many opportunities to participate in RCIA, such as team members or sponsor/companions. If you would like to volunteer your time and talent, we welcome you to contact us at any time.
