The Program
RCIA at Sacred Heart invites each individual to explore beneath the surface of Church teaching in order to discover and appreciate God's will in inviting them to His fold. Through discussion and reflection, each meeting is designed to enflame the desire to know God and His Church on earth -- specifically, the Church He built on Peter, the Catholic Church. Through the Socratic method, we journey as a group, aiding our neighbor in his or her formation as well as our own.
Participants will be responsible for reviewing/learning weekly take-home catechesis, and will be required to complete an assignment in Google Classroom on a monthly basis. In-person classes will be conducted in three week sets, with one week off to complete your Google Classroom assignment from that set.
