RCIC
Rite of Christian Initiation for Children
RCIC is for children beyond the 2nd grade. They fall in one of three general categories:
- They have not been baptized.
- They were baptized in another faith tradition, but their parents wish them to enter into the faith and sacramental life of the Church through Reconciliation and Eucharist, and Confirmation
- They were baptized Catholic, but have not received formal instruction in the faith and missed the reception of one of the sacraments at the usual time.
- Classes start in Fall, contact Ann.
If you want more information or enroll your child, please contact Ann at asalisbury@stbernardblgs.org or 259-4350.
