The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a program for people interested in the Catholic faith, whether they are non-Catholics thinking about becoming Catholic, or Catholics who wish to learn more and/or embrace the Catholic faith. The program starts with a period of instruction and progresses into a more in-depth experience of Catholicism and then invites participants into a process of initiation. Often this includes the Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism (for those not yet baptized, or baptized in another denomination), Confirmation and the Holy Eucharist.
Our RCIA program is being held on Thursdays at 7 pm in the St.Jude’s church hall. If you know of anyone who is interested in learning more about our faith or who have not yet received the sacrament of Confirmation and Holy Communion please ask them to call the parish office (604) 434-6700.
