Faith Development

 Adults For Confirmation

Each year from March till Pentecost Sunday, we have faith formation for adults over eighteen, who are baptized, have made their First Holy Communion  and attend Church but have not celebrated the Sacrament of Confirmation.  Weekly gatherings take place on Tuesday evenings to cover topics such as prayer, the sacraments, the beatitudes, the commandments and social justice.  Opportunities for reflection on Scripture are also provided. For more information please contact Roy English at

RCIA-Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults

The RCIA process is for adults seeking full initiation to the Catholic Church.  They are preparing to receive their sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist at the Great Easter vigil.  The group meets at 9:30 AM Sunday Mass.  RCIA team members discuss the readings and the Gospel that we hear at mass.  We also have guest speakers on topics such as Images of God, morality, the Rosary, the Bible, the sacraments, time. talent, treasure, penance and other topics that help RCIA participants learn more about our faith.  What an amazing experience to help people who are responding to God's call and seeking a closer relationship with Him. For more information please contact Sister Brid at (714)741-9492
