Have you considered looking into joining the Catholic Church? Are you baptized in the Church but never made First Communion and/or Confirmation? Were you raised a Catholic but are interested in growing in your adult knowledge of the faith? The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) is for you. St. Matthias will begin RCIA classes on Wednesday, September 30th at 7pm in the Hughes Center.
