How to Become Catholic

Are you a seeker of truth?  Do you have questions about your life? Do you have a sense of longing for something more then yourself?  Are you interested in becoming Catholic? If so we are here to walk with you!  St. Louise invites you to join RCIA inquiry on Sundays following the 9am mass.  Please come to the parish office Conference room for questions and fellowship!

What is RCIA and who is it for?
RCIA stands for Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults. It is the journey marked by rituals by which an adult is fully initiated into the Catholic Church.  It is for the following people:

• Non-Catholics who want to find out more about the Catholic faith

• Those who have not been baptized and want to become Catholic

• Those who were baptized Catholic as infants but did not receive First Eucharist or Confirmation

• Those who were baptized in a protestant church and wish to become Catholic.

If you have questions please contact Katie O'Neill at 425-214-5477 or katie@stlouise.org

How to Participate:

Parish staff leads the sessions. You can help.

Mentor Families serve as hosts and friends through the process. Mentors are companions on the journey. Mentors should enjoy working with children and young adults and actively involved in parish life. As a Mentor, you will attend RCIA sessions with parents and children and be available to answer their questions. Mentors also support the candidates during prayer rituals which occur throughout the year. Training and support are provided.

Prayer Partners provide prayer support which is vital to the entire RCIC process. Parishioners pray for the RCIC participants, especially during Lent. If you are interested in being a prayer partner for a specific candidate, please contact Geri Hanley.
