RCIA Adapted for Children

Our RCIA Adapted for Children Program (sometimes called RCIC, or Right of Christian Initiation for Children) is designed for children over age 7 who wish to become members of the Catholic Church.

Children who have been baptized Catholic but are behind in their religious education and are in need of receiving the Sacraments of First Eucharist and Confirmation also attend these classes. The classes are in addition to regular, weekly RE sessions.

Our goal in offering RCIA for Children is to bring students up to date on the basics of our Faith, while catechizing them specifically for the Sacraments of First Eucharist and Confirmation.
