The Rite of Chris an Ini a on of Adults (RCIA) is for those who have never been bap zed and who, in a faith response to the Word of God, ask to be prepared for sacra-mental ini a on in the Church.

There are other types of candidates who present themselves to the church. Par ally ini ated can-didates might have been:

•Validly bap zed Catholics with no subsequent experience of the Church;

•Validly bap zed Catholics who never received the sacraments of Eucharist or Confirma on;

•Bap zed Chris ans, perhaps confirmed in anoth-er church, who having lived their faith are now seeking recep on into the Roman Catholic com-munion.

If you or someone you know would like to learn more about becoming a par cipant in the RCIA, please contact Ms. Barbara Ficaro at 985-448-3250, Mr. Sco Dupont at 985-447-6433, or Sr. Lauren Lindee at 985-446-5127.
