RCIA Rite of Christian Initiation For Adults Are you interested
in learning more about the Catholic Faith? or, Are you looking to
complete your initiation into the Catholic Church?
Ongoing Formation Throughout the Year
For those looking into the Catholic Church: WEEKLY GATHERINGS
are for those in the initial stages of learning about the Catholic
Faith and/or those who are thinking about joining the Church. The
format is informal and is based on questions that arise each week.
Friends and spouses are always welcome. For those asking to join
the Church or complete their initiation: CATECHUMENATE The
Catechumenate (cata-cume-net) consists of weekly gatherings for
those who have made the decision to join the Catholic faith, or for
those who have been baptized Catho-lic and wish to complete their
initiation through sacraments Eucharist and /or Confirma-tion.
During the Catechumenate, we attend Sunday Mass and meet on a
weekly basis. Unbap-tized candidates may spend 1-2 years in the
Catechumenate group. The length of time in the Catechumenate group
for baptized candidates depends on the amount of Adult faith
formation they have had on their journey thus far. Each candidate
will journey towards full initiation in the Catholic Faith. For
those Celebrating their first year as a fully initiated Catholic:
MYSTAGOGIA The mystagogia (mista-go-gia) gatherings are for those
who have recently joined the Catholic faith or have completed their
initiation. These gatherings offer newly initiated Catholics an
opportunity to share and celebrate their new life in the
Church.
ALL ARE WELCOME!! Contact Person: Ms. Janine Kramer Office of
Religious Education Phone: (718) 225-5191
