The St. Alphonsus Dinner Program
Interested in becoming Catholic?
Have you ever considered joining the Catholic Church? Seeking a deeper understanding of the Catholic faith? Growing closer with God? If you have, then RCIA may be for you.
RCIA, or Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is the process by which individuals become full members of the Catholic Church. The goal of this formation process is for individuals to receive one (or more) of the sacraments of initiation: Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist. During the RCIA process, individuals are invited to explore more deeply their own faith journey, while being introduced to the basic beliefs, liturgy, and spiritual tradition of the Catholic Church.
Please contact Fr. John Murray, S.J. or Michael DiBianca at for specific information.
