Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)

There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

one God, the Father of all

The RCIA is a journey of discovery and inquiry into the Catholic faith.  This is a year-round, gradual process adapted to the needs of those who inquire.  For some, this may be the culmination of many years of praying, worshipping, studying, and probing into the Catholic Church.  For others, this may be their first steps towards faith formation. 

The RCIA team members are sensitive to the varied life experiences of those inquiring into the faith.  The RCIA is a process of equipping participants with the proper tools for faith formation.  It is a balance of Scripture reflection and catechesis. 

The RCIA takes place within the entire community of the faithful.  The entire community of St. Susanna has the opportunity to model faith for those inquiring and entering the Church.  Conversely, the catechumens and candidates through their dedication, prayer, and perseverance are a spectacular witness to the community of the faithful of the power of the Holy Spirit.

RCIA catechetical sessions occur on Tuesday evenings at 7:00 p.m. in the large conference room located in the undercroft of the church.
