Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA)
Our walk with people who are interested in learning more about the Catholic faith is a continual process. We welcome people to enter into the conversation at any time. In other words, the RCIA is not a class or a series of presentations with a defined start and end, but rather a journey that one embarks upon when they feel called and ready. The decision on how to practice your life of faith is a very personal one and every person and situation is unique. The RCIA is designed to meet people where they are. People from the parish guide and mentor those who are inquiring and walk with them through their discernment process. If you or someone you know is interested in becoming Catholic please have them contact Rita at 330-535-3135, Ext. 104 or email at rita@stvincentchurch.com.
Sacramental Preparation
Many times, in life things happen that cause us to prioritize things differently than we normally would. There is never a wrong time and never is it too late to celebrate a sacrament. If you or a member of your family is in need of celebrating Baptism, Reconciliation, Eucharist, or Confirmation please let us know. Contact Rita at rita@stvincentchurch.com or call 330-535-3135 Ext. 104
