IS THERE A NEW JOURNEY IN YOUR FUTURE?

St. Mary's Parish is involved in many different & important activities. However, our primary goal as a faith-filled community is to share the Pascal Mystery, the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and to be instruments of His love and mercy. We do this by sharing the "Good News" of the Gospel and through the Sacramental Life of the Church. We are part of a living faith.

The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (R.C.I.A.) is the process that allows a person to discern if God is calling them to the Catholic Faith. Without pressure, during our weekly meetings, a person explores the truths and beauty of the Catholic faith. The R.C.I.A. process is appropriate for those not baptized as well as those from other Christian traditions. It is also appropriate for those baptized Catholics, who, for whatever reason, have not had a religious education nor have they received the Sacraments of First Communion and Confirmation.
