RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF ADULTS
Thinking of joining the Roman Catholic Church? Great! Is it a little overwhelming? Where do you begin? Well, you just begin from where you are now! Many adults entering the Catholic Church, or those just thinking about it, follow a process known as the RCIA–Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults.
If you, a friend, or family member is interested in joining the Catholic Church or would like to find out more about Catholic beliefs and practices, please contact Josette Houri through our parish office at 717-838-3369 or email RCIA@hspalmyra.com.
