RCIA is a process of welcoming others into our Catholic family. RCIA is a journey of faith through which persons join, or complete their initiation into, the Catholic Church. RCIA is a process intended for:

• Anyone over the age of 7 who has not been baptized
• Anyone who has been baptized in a different faith community but wishes to join the Catholic Church
• Anyone who has been baptized in the Catholic Church but hasn’t received the sacraments of Eucharist and Confirmation.

Attending either the 4:00 p.m., 9:00 a.m., or 11:00 Mass and participating in Breaking Open the Word after the homily is a necessary part of the process.
We will also gather on Wednesday evenings for faith sharing on the upcoming Sunday Scriptures.

For more information and to begin the process, please contact Deacon Mike Ellis at 563-556-7511 or dbq058d@dbqarch.org.
