RCIA Program
This program is called RCIA, which by its acronym stands for Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults. It is designed for adults 18 years of age and older who want to learn and grow in their faith, become Catholic or who want to prepare to receive one or more sacraments of Christian Initiation that are Baptism, First Communion and Confirmation. It consists of four stages of preparation and accompaniment that have a different duration for each person since it depends on the openness and disposition shown in the process. Classes in English are available every Wednesday from 7:30 pm to 8:30pm.
