Are you curious about the Catholic faith? Have you been baptized in another Christian faith and are interested in becoming a Catholic? Were you baptized a Catholic and would like to receive Eucharist and Confirmation? Do you know someone who might be interested in becoming a Catholic?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, a warm welcome to you! The process to explore the Catholic faith is called the RCIA (The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults). This journey of study and prayer generally takes a year. There is no set date to begin; one can begin at any time. Gatherings occur on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings. The process is twofold. The first being an opportunity to uncover God’s loving presence in one’s personal life and the second, a means to help a person embrace the rich treasury of the Catholic faith. Learn more about RCIA at St. Raphael. Read what Heather Heppner has to say about her faith journey through RCIA.  For more information, please contact Sr. Anne Hyzy via phone 630-355-4545, Extension 138.
