Holy Trinity Catholic Church

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)

RCIA is the process by which people who are interested in learning about the Catholic Faith, can attend sessions that help them learn about God and the Catholic Church. This is a discernment process that helps people understand who Jesus is and what a difference He makes in their lives. If they discern that they should become members of the Catholic Church, this process leads eventually to full initiation into the Catholic Church. Participants are free to make their own decision about whether to enter the Church or not.

RCIA is for adults who:

Are interested in learning about God, Jesus Christ, the Catholic Faith, the Catholic Church and knowing what direction they should go
Have never been baptized
Have been baptized in another Christian faith and are interested in the Catholic Faith
Are baptized Catholics who have not yet received the Sacraments of First Communion or Confirmation
Are married to a Catholic, attend Mass, and would like to take the next step to become a member of the Catholic Church
Are Catholic but want to learn more about their Faith

RCIA is a spiritual formation process, beginning in September, leading to initiation into the Church at the Easter Vigil, and continuing until Pentecost. RCIA sessions are held every Monday evening from 7:00-8:30pm at the church in the parish hall. These weekly sessions are for anyone with interest, no matter your current denomination. Please encourage your family, friends and neighbors, who have interest in Catholicism, to come and investigate. If you are interested in attending or would like more information, contact Martha Drennan at 703-753-6700, x112.
