CCD & RCIC
We are excited to share that our CCD (Confraternity of Christian Doctrine) and RCIC (Rite of Christian Initiation for Children), is designed to help your children grow spiritually, build community, and learn moral values. The program includes interactive lessons, group discussions, and community service projects.
Our program runs from September through April and is open to children in grades 1-8 and meets every Wednesday from 5:30-6:30 p.m. High school students meet every other Wednesday at 7 p.m. with Mr. Daniel Burnham in the Meeting Center.
Our in person Registration event will take place the weekend of August 16 and 17th after each Mass. We request a fee of $30.00 per student, with fees increasing to $40 after August 31. Late registration may result in your child's inability to participate in the program.
We encourage you to register early to secure your child's spot and allow us to plan effectively for the upcoming year. Thank you for being an example of faith to your children. We look forward to welcoming your child to our program and helping them grow spiritually, emotionally, and socially.

Rite/Order of Christian Initiation of Adults
RCIA is the Catholic Church's process for welcoming new members, both those who have never been baptized and those baptized in other Christian traditions. It involves a period of learning about the beliefs, practices and the life of the church as well as spiritual reflection and prayer. The process culminates in the reception of the sacraments of initiation, making the individual a full member of the Catholic Church. Our RCIA program meets on Monday nights at 7 pm. from September through Easter.
RCIA registration for those wishing to be fully initiated in the Roman Catholic Church will take place the weekend of Saturday, August 23 and Sunday, August 24 after each of the Masses. If you are not able to attend the in person registration event, please contact Rev. Timothy Farrell. There is no cost to attend. Classes will begin on Monday, Sept. 15, in the Church. Most weeks RCIA meets in the Meeting Center at 7 p.m. on Mondays. When you sign up on the weekend of Aug. 23 and 24, you will also receive a full-year schedule of classes.
