This is the process here at Church of the Visitation of Christian Initiation of Adults where adults become full, active, participating members of the Catholic Church.
We welcome all who wish to participate fully in the Catholic Church. Our mission is to help God's people to prepare for full initiation in our faith.
This ministry offers instruction, care, and friendship to all those who wish to join us in faith. While some candidates come from other faiths, others may have been baptized as Catholics, but have not received the other sacraments. All receive instruction which enables them to enter our Catholic faith and complete the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, Reconciliation, and Communion. Our team and the entire Visitation community support our candidates through their journey as we help them to grow in faith and become holy people. This ministry is a place where faith is enlightened and hearts are directed toward God. Our candidates are fostered and nurtured in accordance with the Spirit of Christ as they learn to participate in the Liturgy and become inspired to take part in apostolic activities.
Members of our team attend training classes and workshops, teach, serve refreshments, pray, participate in the Rites of the Ministry, answer questions, make telephone calls, and do all that is necessary to ensure a fruitful and blessed experience for our candidates.
Please call Dale Zanetti at ext. 214 for more information about this very rewarding Ministry. Please consider becoming part of our team.
