IntroductionThe RCIA is the process by
which interested persons gradually become fully initiated members of the Catholic Church.
It originated in the earliest traditions of the Church for welcoming new members into the
Catholic community.
The RCIA is primarily a journey of faith.
There are many valid reasons why some baptized Catholics have never received the
Sacraments of Holy Eucharist and Confirmation. Whatever your reason, now may be the time
for you to fill this void in your faith life.
Or perhaps you are not Catholic but the example of
family members or the influence of friends has awakened a desire in you to examine the
beliefs and teachings of the Catholic Church.
RCIA provides you an opportunity to grow in your faith and in your knowledge of the
Catholic tradition. Weekly meetings, led by a team, provide an opportunity for prayer,
reflection on the Word of God, study and discussion. These meetings, combined with the
experience of worshipping with the St. Bridget faith community, all work together to help
you find your spiritual home.
Come, journey with us.
