The
Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is a sacramental process of transformation and an experience of conversion of the whole person, whereby the Spirit empowers the believer to proclaim the gift received: liberation and redemption in and through the person of Jesus. If you are interested in being initiated into the Body of Christ through the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist, call Fr. John Vien (772-1525, ext 207, or e-mail: jrvien@sbcglobal.net) or Sr. Mary Henry (772-1515, ext 203, or e-mail: srmhenry@sbcglobal.net).
