Rite of christian initiation of Adults (R.C.I.A)

R.C.I.A for Children
 
R.C.I.A. for Children is the process by which the Catholic Church initiates children over the age of 7, who are not baptized, or who were baptized in another Christian tradition. It is a process of growing in faith, knowledge and understanding of Jesus Christ as lived and celebrated in the Roman Catholic Church.  The Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston requires children to attend two years of sacramental preparation, with the first year being a foundational year.  The second year will be focused on the Sacraments.  At the end of the second year children receive the Sacraments of Initiation during the Easter Vigil.  It is necessary to enroll children in regular age-appropriate Faith Formation Classes in addition to R.C.IA. for Children.  For further information, please call Yvonne Laschon at 281-778-0400.
