Being a Catholic can begin with baptism in infancy, or it may be a choice we make as an adult.
We welcome you to consider joining our Catholic faith - whether you are a member of another Christian denomination or, are exploring Christianity for the first time.
The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) is two-year discernment and preparation program, culminating in welcoming new members to the Catholic church at the Easter Vigil.
Our RCIA program is led by parish staff and dedicated volunteers. We welcome your questions and hope you consider becoming catholic.
Adults interested in receiving the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and/or Communion should speak with Deacon Ronald Agnant. RCIA is the process the Church employs to prepare adults to be baptized and/or confirmed. Through instruction, worship, and prayer, adults are helped to grow in faith and receive these sacraments. Are you interested and eligible to take part? Now is the time to inquire about making or renewing your faith. You can call Deacon Ronald Agnant at the parish office at (718) 469-9500.
