Welcome!
Are you seeking answers to questions about the Catholic faith?
Have you considered joining the Catholic Church?
Are you an adult wanting to be baptized? Or are you a baptized Catholic and want to receive the sacraments of Eucharist or Confirmation?
We invite you to journey with us in RCIA.
How do I get started?
It is wonderful news that you wish to become Catholic. Here are some things we need you to do:
1. Register at our parish. Go to: holyfamilycolumbus.com and click the “I’m New Here” tab and complete the registration.
2. Complete the RCIA Inquiry Form CLICK HERE. We use this form as an assessment tool to determine where you are in your journey.
3. Mark down September 17 on your calendar. We will begin our RCIA classes (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) will begin (see attachment).
4. Keep coming (or start coming) to Mass!
Do I attend classes?
Our RCIA classes are Tuesdays, 7:00-8:15 PM in St. Mary’s Hall beginning September 17.
Our classes cover a multitude of topics within the Catholic Church and as you journey through the classes, discover your readiness to becoming Catholic. Although there no “set” time to be baptized, receive the Eucharist or Confirmation, the traditional timeline culminates at the Easter Vigil around the month of April.
This process is structured but organic.
