Are You A Returning Catholic?
Have you already celebrated Confirmation but have just been away from the Catholic Church for a while?
St. John Vianney invites all returning Catholics to a six-week series offered three times per year. During these sessions we will discuss topics that will update the participants on the Catholic Church today. Contact Barbara Scott.
Are you an adult and are looking to celebrate Confirmation?
For adults baptized and brought up in the Catholic faith and wishing to be confirmed, the Adult Confirmation Program offers preparation for Confirmation at the Easter Vigil each year. Adult Confirmation candidates will need to take Basic Catholicism for the fall semester, September to December. Registration is required but no fee is asked for this program. Contact Barbara Scott.

Would You Like to Become Catholic?
Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults/Children (RCIA) is the process whereby adults and children over the age of 7 are welcomed into the Catholic Church through the sacraments of baptism, confirmation, and Eucharist. Those already baptized in another Christian tradition will prepare for full communion in the Catholic faith. The process involves the periods of Inquiry, Catechumenate, the Period of Purification and Enlightenment, and Mystagogia over the typical course of a year. If you are interested in joining the Catholic Church, contact Barbara Scott, 724-3132, for more information.
