Adult Education is for anyone interested in learning more about the Catholic Faith. 

• Access to FORMED (click here) - Formed.org provides access to movies, books, audio talks, documentaries and studies, over 4,000 works. Content is available for all ages and most content is also available in Spanish. Ascension provides parishioners free access to Formed.org

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is for those who would like to become a full member of the Catholic Church through the gift of the sacraments.  It is for:

• All in need of Baptism
• Christians who are considering becoming Catholic
• Baptized Catholics in need of First Communion and/or Confirmation.

RCIA begins with a period of inquiry, discussion, and learning about God's plan of salvation as revealed in the Bible.  Meetings/sessions are free and imply no commitment on your part to join the Catholic Church.  

If interested, please complete the form to the left or send your name, contact information and the best time and way to reach you to danielt@adw.org. 

>> For Further Reflection:

Do you ever ask yourself any of these questions?

• What am I looking for in life?
• What is the meaning of my life?
• How can I be a better person?
• What can I do about the loneliness I feel?
• How can I come to know God's love?
• How can I know the right path God has in store for me?

Are you searching for:

• A deeper relationship with God?
• A sense of belonging in a faith community?
• A greater fulfillment of your mission in life?

Have you ever:

• Been curious about the Catholic tradition or what the Catholic Church teaches?  
• Wondered why there's a difference between Protestant and Catholic Bibles?
• Felt as if Something higher or spiritual was drawing you to learn more about God, but you didn't know where to go for answers?
• Had a previous bad experience while looking into the faith?

Are you:

• Baptized Catholic, but never received any formal religious training?
• Baptized into another denomination but wish to become Catholic?
• Married to a Catholic and attend Mass, but don't know how to become Catholic or are unsure if you should?

If you answered 'yes' to any of these questions, perhaps God is asking you to explore the Catholic Church, to enter into a deeper personal relationship with Him and experience His love in a way you may never have imagined.
