Want to become Catholic? Need sacraments, or a refresher on our Faith?

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 office@ascensionbowie.irg
