"The catechumenate is to be 'a formation in the whole Christian life...during which the disciples will be  joined to Christ their teacher.'"

Catechism of the Catholic Church 1248

ARE YOU SOMEONE OR DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO…

• Has expressed an interest in becoming Catholic?
• Has been coming to Mass with your Catholic spouse and have questions about the Catholic Church?
• Has a child over the age of seven who has not been baptized?

Nativity offers an opportunity to come together in a small group to learn more about our faith. Sessions will begin around Labor Day and focus on the teachings and experience of the Church and prepare individuals to celebrate the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist during the Easter season. You are welcome to participate in the process with your questions, your insights and your faith story in a warm, accepting setting. For more information please contact Fr. Eric at freric@nativityindy.org or fill out the form below.

Adults who have been baptized in another Christian faith are also welcome to join those in the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults; however, the formation of those who have been baptized will be invited into rites and celebrations different yet similar to the rites, celebrations and preparation of our unbaptized adults. Contact our Pastoral Associate to inquire about making a profession of faith and completing your initiation.

For adults who have already been baptized in the Catholic Church and are seeking to complete their initiation through the sacraments of Holy Communion and Confirmation, RCIA is not necessary. To best determine the route you should take to fully enter into the life of the Church, please contact our Pastoral Associate.
