Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) RCIA logo

It is a journey (a process) that individuals undertake to become members of the universal Catholic Church.  This is a process that involves the whole parish.  As you grow in the knowledge of Jesus and of the Catholic Church, the parish will accompany you through prayers, spiritual support and example, and extend an open invitation to join in the life of the parish.

There are four phases of the process:

  1. Inquiry is to search and question.   Individuals make the decision to formally learn more about the Catholic faith, culminating in the Rite of Acceptance.
  2. Catechumenate is a more formal catechesis (teaching) about the Catholic faith and sacraments, culminating in the Rite of Election.
  3. Purification and Enlightenment is a spiritual preparation for the Sacraments of Initiation leading to the Easter Vigil.
  4. Mystagogy is a process of reflecting on the grace of the Sacraments and deepening your relationship with God and His Church.

Inquiry sessions are held throughout the year. Join us!

RCIA Year 1 (October 2020 – June 2021) is a year of Biblical foundation as we discover not only who the Church is, but explore her roots in Salvation History. RCIA Year 2 (beginning Fall 2021) continues from this Biblical basis into Church teaching and living. Due to Covid-19, class will consist of at-home work (video and reading) each week prior to meeting over Zoom.

Please submit the registration form or contact Kristen Abbananto at 425-277-6205 | adultevang@st-anthony.cc for more information.

Sacramental Preparation of Adults

If you have been baptized in the Catholic Church and have not received the Sacraments of First Eucharist and Confirmation, there is a year-long process of instruction on the Catholic Church, Sacraments and Catholic teachings culminating with conferring of these sacraments by the Archbishop or Bishop. This year’s class runs from the beginning of November 2020 through the beginning of May 2021. Due to Covid-19, class will consist of at-home work (video and reading) each week prior to meeting over Zoom.

Please submit the registration form or contact Kristen Abbananto at 425-277-6205 | adultevang@st-anthony.cc for more information.
