Are you curious about what it means to be Catholic?  Interested in learning more?  Come and see what the journey may have in store for you.  No pressure or commitment, just the opportunity to explore.

The process for Adults Becoming Catholic is formally called the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA). This formation process is for adults interested in becoming Catholic or thinking about being baptized.
 
This process is for:

•  Unbaptized adults,
•  Adults baptized in another Christian       tradition,
•  Baptized Catholic adults who want to prepare to receive confirmation AND   First Communion.  
• Adults over the age of 18 yrs and out of High School

Typically there is a meeting once a week throughout the process composed of three to four phases. A new group begins meeting on August 11, 2024. The process is group and community based, and progress is marked with community rituals. Each individual's journey is unique, so spiritual discernment is an important element of the process.   

The English group meets on Sundays, following the 9:00am Mass (10:00am). For more information on the Spanish process, please contact our Hispanic Ministry Office at 925-672-5800 ext. 2225.  

There is a $75.00 fee to cover cost of materials.
