Adult Faith Formation

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) 

The process through which interested adults and older children are gradually introduced to the Roman Catholic faith and way of life.

The Catholic Church is always welcomes those who wish to become part of our faith community. At St. Cornelius, we make a special effort to reach out to anyone interested in exploring the possibility of becoming Catholic.  There is never any pressure or obligation to actually become Catholic. RCIA sessions are held Tuesday nights via Zoom.  Encourage friends that may have been thinking about the Catholic Church to contact Deacon Joe Hamamoto or his wife Audrey Hamamoto to explore more or start RCIA classes.

Also if you are an adult who has been Baptized and has received Eucharist in the Catholic Church but has not yet been confirmed, contact the rectory office ~ (562)421-8966  for class schedule information.
