The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults is a ministry designed to bring interested participants into the church and those members already Catholic who wants a refresher course on our religion. This process helps participants become full members of the Catholic Church. The participants go through an education process as well as many meaningful presentations on the Catholic Church and its history. St. Rose's classes are taught by Fr. Babasino and several different parishioners. St. Rose's understanding for RCIA, lets members of the St. Rose community aid in the instruction of these new members. We believe that faith is learned through experience as well as book teachings. For more information on RCIA, or to join classes, contact Jody Linder or the church secretary.
