THINKING ABOUT BECOMING CATHOLIC?
Are you wondering if the Catholic Church is where God is calling you to be? Are you a Catholic but not yet confirmed? The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) is an opportunity to ask questions and discern your next step on your faith journey. The schedule is flexible and is ongoing through the year. Call Sheila Murphy at the Faith Formation Office 616-243-8998 x204 for more information. A helpful web site: www.beginningcatholic.com/catholic-rcia-stages.html
