Cathedral of St John Berchmans - R C I A  Interview
 

 

Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults    

 

Why an Interview?

If you or someone you know has never been baptized; baptized in another faith tradition; or baptized in the Catholic Faith, but have not received Eucharist and/or Confirmation, this is for you.

We ask you to call the office for a brief interview.  This is not something that obligates you in any way whatsoever.  It is intended to help us to better minister to you.

Why do we need an interview?

·         We need your name, address, etc., so that we can communicate with you.

·         We will need to know whether you have been validly baptized or not.

·         We will need to ascertain whether there is a prior marriage, which may require attention should you decide to join the Church.

·         We will need to establish whether or not you will need nursery service and for how many.

·         To give you a brief overview of the process.

·         To become familiar with any particular difficulty you may have, such as, “Is Sunday morning good or not?”

·         To explain the role of the Sponsor and to get the name, address, telephone number, etc. 

·         To get information so that we can prepare nametags and sign-in sheets for the Inquirers, as well as the Sponsors.

·         To provide an opportunity for the Inquirer to ask questions beforehand.           

If you or someone you know is interested in exploring the Catholic Faith, please call us.  We would love to hear from you.

If you are interested in learning more about the Catholic faith, contact us – 221-5296.  Ask for Fr. Peter or Carol Gates.  
God bless you.

"And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the LORD, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the LORD: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more."   ... The Book of the Prophet Jeremiah, 3:16
