RCIA is the process through which any unbaptized person over the age of 7 or anyone who has been baptized in another Christian denomination prepares to join the Catholic Church and receive the Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Confirmation and First Holy Communion. Classes meet at 6 pm on most Thursdays at the Pastoral Office Conference Room, 212 E. 6th Street in Muenster. You are welcome to come with your questions about the Catholic Faith. We’re happy to explore Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition with you. For questions or additional information about RCIA, please contact the Sacred Heart Parish Office at 940.759.2500.
