God is always awakening in us a desire for something more in our lives. We may hear God’s call when faced with a major life event, like marriage or having a child, or in a time of crisis, like illness or loss. When we feel a pull towards a deeper relationship with God, it is good to have a community with which to explore it.
The “Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults” (RCIA) is for men and women who are considering the Catholic way of life and want to journey deeper into the Catholic faith. Some come with little or no religious background. Some were raised in other Christian denominations. Others are engaged to or married to Catholics and want to learn more. And some are baptized Catholics who practiced their faith up to a certain point in their lives and now wish to complete the sacraments of initiation (First Communion and/or Confirmation). RCIA aims to support you wherever you are.
The 2023/2024 RCIA program will begin in mid-October, meeting both on Zoom and in person following Sunday Mass at one of the Brooklyn Oratory’s two parishes, St. Boniface and Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. All inquiries are welcome and will be kept confidential. For more information, contact RCIA coordinators Rob and Nadine at [email protected].
