The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) is a seven month process in which adults who are not baptized or adults who were baptized in a non-Catholic church may become Catholic, and adults who are baptized Catholic but have not been confirmed may complete their initiation into the Catholic Church. Weekly meetings begin in the fall and are completed with the celebration of the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and First Communion at the Easter Vigil on April 23, 2011.

Candidates for initiation are paired with a sponsor from the parish and a sponsor of their own choosing who can help them during this process. Classes are conducted by Fr. Liekhus, and are offered on Sunday mornings from 8:30 to 9:30 in the parish conference room. Classes will begin in 2010 on September 19. To register, contact Fr. Liekhus at 952-945-9441 or frjliekhus@stjohnhopkins.org.
