St. Mary of Sorrows-- Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)
As a Brother Knight, are you aware of any non-Catholic family member, friend, neighbor, or someone who has been coming to Mass for a while, but is not Catholic who may be interested in inquiring into our Catholic faith? Do you know of someone who is baptized Catholic, but has not received the sacraments of Holy Eucharist & Confirmation? The St. Mary of Sorrows RCIA Team is hoping to warmly welcome any & all who may be interested in exploring & learning about Catholicism. We will assist & guide all inquirers on their journey to a deeper faith & hopefully on to their coming into full communion in the Catholic Faith at the 2024 Easter Vigil.
