Many people assume that RCIA is only for people who have never been Catholic and are looking to “convert.” The fact is that RCIA is for anyone who is interested in learning more about their faith and deepening their commitment to the community. If you’ve ever been curious about the Catholic faith or know someone who is, or if you are a baptized Catholic and have never received Eucharist or Confirmation, maybe now is the time to consider learning more. The Sacraments are our way as a community to experience the love of God. If you have been wondering, if you have been searching, maybe this is the year to take the next step and join a community of searchers and wonderers alive in the love of God. If you are interested in learning more about the RCIA process, contact Pat Hebert at 518-235-0337.
