RCIA & Adult Faith Enrichment Programs

​Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults

The RCIA program at Saint Paul welcomes all who wish to inquire about the Catholic faith and those who choose to become full members of the Catholic Church. The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is a process developed by the Catholic Church for prospective teen or adult converts to Catholicism. The journey reaches its climax at the Easter Vigil, where the candidates become fully initiated into the Catholic. This is a ministry of the whole parish comprised of volunteers as sponsors, facilitators and catechists. The RCIA program meets every Tuesday evening 6:30 to 8:00 in Room 2 in the Family Life Center. If you are interested in learning to become a Catholic let us know by contacting the parish office at 252-638-1984 or call Marcie. If you are willing to work on the team or want more information contact the church office 252-638-1984.
