Sacraments
If your seeking has drawn you to the family of the Catholic Church, the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults offers prayerful accompaniment along your journey to know God and His people. Whether you seek Baptism, or have already been baptized and seek Confirmation and Holy Eucharist, you can continue to seek, grow in your faith, study scripture, and find our parish a welcoming place for your inquiry and formation.
To learn more about the process of RCIA, contact Fr. Paul Niemann, St. Pius V pastor.
