St. Rita's Religious Education

 

For Adults

Many adults have not received all their Sacraments of Initiation. Some never received Confirmation. Others have also not received their First Communion. Still others are unbaptized, wishing to become full members of our Catholic Faith. The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults allows adults to learn about their faith in an adult way, only with other adults, and to receive the Sacraments with other adults each year at the Easter Vigil and at Pentecost. Classes for the RCIA are taught each week in English by Leticia Nazario, and in Spanish by Mr. & Mrs. Fernando & Roxana Luces.
Other adults come for classes because they wish to baptize one of their children. Parents are prepared for their children's baptism either in English or in Spanish each month in the rectory.
Adult courses are offered in Spanish all through the year in Spanish in different aspects of the Holy Scriptures and our Faith. For information, you may call the rectory and ask for Helen Foster.
