Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary Catholic Church

Since 1907

Religious Education - RCIA

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) program is the primary method for us to bring adults into the Catholic Church.  It is a 9-month program designed to lead people with questions about the Catholic Church through all of the major teachings of the church.  It provides an atmosphere where candidates are comfortable asking difficult questions about our faith.  The ultimate goal of the program is to enlighten people to the truth of the church so they can decide if they want to join. 

If you would like to join the Catholic Church or if you are searching for answers, this is the program for you!  Our current class begins on 13 September and culminates next spring on the Easter Vigil, where all candidates are welcomed into the church.

The primary person to contact for this program is Dave Deis.  If you are interested in joining this class or just exploring your options contact the office at 898-5253, Ext 0 or 2 and we will return your call as soon as possible.
