Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults

Do you know someone interested in becoming a Catholic?

The four parishes of the South Dorchester area are sponsoring a preparation program for individuals who are interested in joining the Catholic Church. The instruction and formation process is known as the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults RICA). The program is designed for individuals who have never been Baptized and others who may have been members of another

Christian tradition. We also welcome baptized Catholics who were never instructed in their faith and who didn't receive First Eucharist or Confirmation. An orientation meeting will be held on Monday evening, October 6th at St. Gregory’s Rectory

beginning at 7:30PM.

The weekly program will begin on Monday evening, October 20th at 7PM until at 8:30PM. The instruction program will

conclude several weeks after the Easter Vigil on Saturday, April 8, 2009.  If interested in participating in the RCIA program

please call St. Gregory’s Rectory at 617-298-2460 and contact Father John O’Donnell for a preliminary meeting.
