RCIA
Each year on Holy Saturday during the Easter Vigil, thousands are baptized into the Catholic Church in the United States. Parishes welcome these new Catholics through the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults.
For more information or questions please call the Parish Office at 747-3100 or email at parish@stjosephtucsonaz.org
Classes are now in session
We welcome those 18 years of age or older who would like to investigate the Catholic faith and receive instruction in its teachings. The RCIA program is primarily intended for those who are not baptized, but also includes Christians baptized in non-Catholic faiths and baptized Catholics who have not received first Holy Communion and Confirmation. The RCIA program will prepare them for reception of Baptism and/or Holy Communion and Confirmation at the Easter vigil Mass in March 2024. Fully initiated Catholics who would like to enrich their understanding of the faith are also welcome to attend any or all sessions. First class is Tuesday, September 5 at 6:30 p.m.
