RCIA Ministry

Rite of  Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the process by which Non-Catholics who are interested in joining the Catholic Church are given the opportunity to learn more about the Catholic faith. 

This process begins in September of each year.  At the Easter Vigil each Catechumen (not baptized) receives the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Eucharist.  Each candidate (already baptized) receives the sacraments of Confirmation and Holy Eucharist.  

RCIA classes are held at St. Mary’s Church each Sunday morning at 11:30 a.m. and each Thursday morning at 10:00 a.m. at the prison chapel at Raiford.

The RCIA Coordinator is Kenneth Cochran Sr.
