Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults

At St. Louis, we welcome all who are interested in joining us. For those who aren't Catholic or haven't received all of their Sacraments, we invite you to attend RCIA. Attending RCIA will allow you to embark on a journey of learning what the Catholic Church believes, and from there to discern if you are willing to commit to being Catholic and living faithfully the teachings of Jesus and His Church. If you are interested in learning more about this process of becoming Catholic, please call the Parish Office at 254-754-1221. Registration is required to attend. 

In addition, our RCIA classes are open (through registration) to those who are Catholic and simply wish to deepen their understanding of the faith, in order to live what they believe more fully.

Purpose:  The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a process where non-catholic adults can learn about the teachings of the Catholic Church. Catholics adults who still need 1st Holy Communion and/or Confirmation are usually prepared and formed through participating in this RCIA process.  Practicing Catholics become companions to non-catholics as they journey toward their sacraments and full initiation.

Mission:  The RCIA process has its roots in the early Christian Church. The mission is to form committed and faithful disciples of Jesus Christ of all those who become members of the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church through initiation.
