The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) is a chance to allow God to talk to you, personally, and encounter his love for you. RCIA is the Catholic Church's program for guiding people in their journey into the Body of Christ, the Church. Instruction includes chances to learn about prayer and opportunities that encourage spiritual habits such as reading the Scriptures. It is not just a class where one learns facts about God, but an encounter with God and a discernment process culminating in receiving the sacraments.
At St. Gabriel, RCIA includes weekly meetings on Monday nights September - March ,as well as several events where special prayers are done at Masses and various services to spiritually nourish the participants.
