RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) is for those adults who have never been baptized, or who have been baptized in another Christian tradition and now wish to inquire into our Catholic Faith, or those who were baptized Catholic but did not receive further religious education to complete the Sacraments of Initiation (First Communion and Confirmation).
Meetings are held on Monday evenings from 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM.
If you are interested or have any questions please contact Joy Medley at 940-220-6703 or via email at jmedley@stmarkdenton.org

IT TAKES A PARISH TO RAISE A NEW CATHOLIC!
"To convert someone, go and take them by the hand and guide them"
-Saint Thomas AquinasThe Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA for short) is the formation process for welcoming new adult members into the Catholic faith community. Because RCIA is tailored to the needs of the individual participants, it is a challenging process and requires the gifts and talents of the whole community to provide the spiritual and religious formation necessary for newcomers to become fully mature disciples. During every step of their faith journey, those seeking communion with the Catholic Church need the whole parish to support them through prayer, example, hospitality and inclusion in parish activities, to celebrate with them the rites that mark their progress, and to offer their specific talents to the formation process. Below are some of the formation aspects of RCIA that are seeking your specific gift and a brief description of the responsibilities involved. Where do you recognize yourself?
Sponsor - most suited to friendly and engaged parishioners who can introduce RCIA newcomers to parish life and activities. A sponsor is one who will:- Befriend an RCIA candidate and offer the gifts of presence, emotional support, prayer, listening, and the personal witness of faith
- Introduce their candidate to the wider community by inviting them to participate in parish events
- Maintain regular contact with their assigned candidate, attend as many of the RCIA sessions as possible with their candidate
- Participate in the public rituals that celebrate their candidate's deepening commitment to Jesus Christ and his Church
- Must be a practicing Catholic and have been Confirmed in a valid marriage as recgonized by the Church
If one of the above categories speaks to your heart and you would like to offer your specific gifts to the RCIA, or if you would like to discuss a commitment further, please contact:
Thank you for your prayerful consideration.
