Adult Faith Formation

Check the Sunday bulletin for special opportunities to grow in your faith as an adult. Offerings will include the study of Holy Scripture, a Lenten series, Advent by Candlelight for Women, marriage enrichment, catechist topics, and any suggestion you might have for a fall, winter or spring class.

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults

RCIA is the process through which adults are welcomed into the Community as fully initiated members of the Catholic Church. RCIA begins with a time of inquiry into the Catholic faith and practices and moves through stages leading to celebration of the Easter Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist.  Formation involves catechesis on the teachings of Christ, faith, sacraments and practices of the Catholic church.  This is accomplished throught regular presentation, discussion, prayer and ritual.  Each adult is sponsored throughout this process by another fully initiated Catholic adult.  RCIA is for all adults who are considering becoming a Catholic whether not yet baptized or baptized in another Christian tradition.  For more information, please contact Gloria Boesch, DRE, or the Pastor.

Adult Confirmation

This is a six week preparation that will be offered twice a year for those adults who have been Baptized, received First Eucharist in the Catholic Church but for some reason have not been fully initiated into the Catholic Church through catechesis and the reception of the Sacrament of Confirmation. Those who meet the requirements in the fall class will be Confirmed on Christ the King Sunday, and those in the spring class will be Confirmed on Pentecost Sunday. Both ceremonies will take place at the Most Blessed Sacrament Cathedral in Detroit. If you are interested in completing this process, call Gloria Boesch, DRE, for an appointment.
