Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)

RCIA was the last of the sacramental rites revised after Vatican Council II. It is the practice of welcoming new adult members into the Catholic community through the sacraments of baptism, confirmation and Eucharist.
The meetings are held one evening a week. The meetings are facilitated by an RCIA team made up of parish volunteers and staff.

Family Life Committee

The Family Life Committee meets in the lounge the 1st Sunday of every month after the 9:00am Mass. We plan events that bring our church family together such as our picnic, ice cream social, autumn festival, international dinner, etc. During the year, we also organize receptions & dinners for various occasions such as First Communion, Confirmation and Easter Vigil. We decorate, set up and clean up for all events and can use many helping hands and fresh ideas. Ron Ciccolini is the chairperson for this committee.
