RCIA for Children - St. Albert Parish
Please see a message from Ms. Sakowich, Pastoral assistant at St. Albert Catholic Parish:
We will be starting the RCIA adapted for children on November 7 at the parish. This will be open to children aged 7-12 who have yet to be baptized.
Depending on the grade they will be baptized and possibly receive the sacraments of First Communion and Confirmation at the Easter Vigil in April. If there are any questions regarding the process you can contact me at Rebecca.sakowich@caedm.ca or contacting the parish office 780-459-6691.
We have already started the RCIA journey for adults, but it is not too late to join. If there are any parents or teachers that want to know more they can also contact me at the office.
