St. Anne Catholic Church

R.C.I.A. (or simply "RCIA") stands for the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, the process by which an adult person is initiated into the Catholic Church, through Baptism, Confirmation, and First Holy Communion.  Through this process the adult is formed in the Christian faith, with the local parish community serving as both catechists and models.
Who is in the R.C.I.A.?
*  Un-baptized adults
*  Adults baptized in non-Trinitarian formula
*  Adults baptized as Catholic, but lack First Holy Communion and Confirmation
*  Adults baptized & confirmed infants in the Catholic Church, but lack First Holy Communion
*  Adults baptized in other Christian Churches, in the Trinitarian formula with water

 Were you raised Catholic but do not come or seldom come to Church anymore?

• Are you a Catholic who now feels separated from the Church?
• Would you like to know more about the Catholic Church as it is today?
• Would you like to feel at home in the Catholic Church again?

 No matter how long you have been away and no matter what reason, we invite you to consider renewing your relationship with the Catholic Church. Please join us for informal listening sessions and an update of the Catholic faith.

BAPTISM—for infants and children through the 6th year of age.  Contact Barbara Lowell (ext. 142)  to set up an appointment.  Parents please bring a copy of your child’s Birth Certificate in order to register your child for Baptism.  We will take parishioners first, and if space is still available, we will welcome parents who are from another parish.  All parents and godparents must attend Baptism classes.

BAPTISM—for children 7 years old and older. Parents fill out the form “Parent Request for Children’s Baptism” at CCE registration. You will receive word about when parent orientation will be held (usually in June and July).  Children are
expected to attend at least one year of CCE before preparing for Baptism, First Eucharist, and Confirmation, in the RCIA process. Contact Barbara Lowell (ext. 142)
