OLL Welcomes New Members on their RCIA Journey
RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) is the preparation process by which the Catholic church assists those who feel called by God to become a Christian (through baptism) or a Christian who desires to become Catholic (through a profession of faith).
To mark and celebrate special stages or moments of their journey, we celebrate special “rites” in which we publicly pray together for and with those preparing for baptism (known as “catechumens”) and those who will make a profession of faith as a Roman Catholic (known as “candidates”).
Below are photos from the first of our special “rites” we recently celebrated with our parish “catechumens” and “candidates” Our parish “catechumens” preparing for baptism include: David & Miranda Emick, Gabriella Nichols and Miranda Speck. Our parish “candidates” are: Ryan Zimmerman and Elyse Keefe.
We welcome anyone, at any time, who feels called to learn more about our Catholic Christian faith community and tradition.
