Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA)

  RCIA is offered for individuals seeking membership in the  
  Roman Catholic Church.  It is a process through which the
  individual may explore the teachings of the church, of sacred
  scripture and of life in the Christian community. The RCIA
  process also serves to prepare persons who either are
  baptized in other Christian traditions and now wish to
  embrace and profess the Roman Catholic faith or are
  baptized as Catholics, and now wish to celebrate their First
  Holy Communion and/or Confirmation.  The sacraments are
  celebrated at the Easter Vigil.  Contact the rectory for more
  information.

Anyone interested in becoming a priest, permanent deacon, brother or sister should contact the Office of Vocations at the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany 453-6600 or www.albanyvocations.org.
