RCIC is open to any child between 7 -10 years old,  in 2nd -5th Grades, who are not
Baptized, and have expressed a desire to become Catholic.

RCIC is a process that prepares Middle Schoolers for receiving the Sacraments of Initiation:

• Baptism
• Eucharist
• Confirmation

It is a two year process with the first year being a foundational year. The second year will be focused on the Sacraments, Prayer, the Creed and the Moral Life. At the end of the second year children receive the Sacraments of Initiation during the Easter Vigil.
