WHY ATTEND PURIFIED?

Get answers to life’s tough questions about love, dating, and relationships from internationally acclaimed speaker Jason Evert and leave with a healthy sense of self-worth and the ability, if needed, to start again.

Purified brings parents and teens together to discover God’s plan for love and opens up an opportunity to continue the discussion about this important topic at home with resources that work. The event includes a talk from Jason where he mixes humor with down-to-earth practicality, making the difficult conversations about love much easier, and ends with Adoration, praise and worship, and an opportunity for the Sacrament of Reconciliation, transforming the night into a mini-retreat for the whole family

Curious about the Catholic Faith?  Thought about becoming Catholic?   Do you desire to complete your Catholic initiation?  Or, do you know someone that is interested in becoming Catholic?  The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) is the program you seek.

What is the RCIA process?

• RCIA is a journey of faith which includes study, sharing, prayer and community building leading towards initiation in the Catholic Church.
• RCIA is appropriate for:
  • those who have never been baptized,
  • those who have been baptized in another Christian faith and would like to become Catholic; or,
  • those who were baptized Catholic but have not completed the sacraments of initiation (Confirmation and First Eucharist).

The RCIA program is offered in both English and Spanish.

If you have questions or are interested in the RCIA program, please visit the following link to fill out the RCIA inquiry form.  We are look forward to hearing from you!  https://www.shrineofpadrepio.com/rcia-inq

Do you feel called to serve in the RCIA ministry?
If you are a practicing Catholic who has a special calling in helping people journey through this process either through teaching, sponsorship or witness, please contact Maria Leija at marialeija5@yahoo.com or, (210) 986-8943.
