Sacraments for Children (RCIA-AC)
-
This process is an adaptation of the RCIA process that adults enroll in when they want to become Catholic. The goals of the RCIA-AC are to help children discover their faith in God and to experience His love in their own lives through Mass, celebration of the sacraments, and the practice of prayer. These goals are achieved first and foremost within the support of the child's family and with the assistance of the catechists and others in ministry at Saint William parish.
RCIA-AC answers a variety of needs and can be individualized based on family circumstances.
This is the right choice for your child(ren) if:- One or more of them is age 7 or above and has yet to be baptized in the Catholic Faith and/or has yet to receive First Reconciliation and/or First Holy Communion.
- Your child is a second grader (or older), has been baptized in another denomination, and now wants to enter the Catholic Church.
- Your child did not attend first grade in a Catholic school or parish religious education program.
When you enroll your child(ren) in RCIA-AC, we will work with you to develop a plan for sacramental preparation that is suitable for your child(ren) and your family.
All plans consist of Sunday Mass attendance and weekly classes. At least one parent must attend the parent class each week. These classes are conveniently offered at the same time the child is in his/her class. -
Special circumstances
When participants in this program have special circumstances and/or needs, the plan may be modified at the discretion of the parents and parish staff to best serve and accomodate the entire family.
