The Holy Spirit

RCIA starts September 14, at 7pm Adult Education Room

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is ultimately about adult conversion and faith formation in a welcoming community. If you wish to become Catholic, or you know someone who does, or you want to serve as a sponsor or team member, call Beverly Corzine at 817-460-2751. Children go through all of the same rites as an adult, and are recognized as part of the Elect at the Call to the Easter Sacraments (a diocesan gathering of the elect from a number of churches at one time). If you have a child who might benefit from the program, or if you would like to volunteer to help with this ministry, please contact Becky Lucas at 817/460-2751.
