R.C.I.A
“The initiation (of adults) is a gradual process that
takes place within a community of the faithful…” (RCIA #4)
The RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) is a program where adolescents (already in High School or older) and adults gather weekly with peers to reflect on their experience of God and their developing faith life as a way of preparing to celebrate one, two, or all of the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist/Communion).
Registration to be in one of these groups normally take place sometime in the early part of the year and in September although we welcome your call or visit anytime of the year so that we may place you on a list for the next group.
The celebration of the sacraments for those in the RCIA takes place every year at the Easter Vigil which is the night before Easter Sunday. For more information call (773. 376-3900) or visit our parish office.

Welcome and thank you for your interest in learning about the faith development of our parish community. It is in serving the poor and the marginalized, in gathering to tell our stories, and in breaking bread together that our parish community finds meaning to Christ's mandate "Do this in memory of me." This understanding of sharing word and breaking bread gives life to our celebration of the Eucharist, to our evangelizing and catechetical activities, our sacramental programs, our missions and novenas, and to the many expressions of faith and culture that we call popular religiosity. Join us through these pages to learn more about how we foster the development of faith in our community and know that you are always welcome to join us in person in this journey of faith.
