New Classes will commence September 2024
Practicing your Catholic faith is a life long journey.
Enrich your Catholic education with bible study groups and programs on prayer, spirituality and Catholic social teaching available through the Archdiocese, NY Faith Formation, and other Catholic organizations. Check the parish bulletin and announcements for topics, locations and times.
Are you interested in becoming a Catholic?
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the process whereby adults enter the Catholic Church. RCIA classes provide education on what the Catholic Church believes and an opportunity to ask question about those beliefs.
Just because you start RCIA, doesn't mean you are committed to finishing the process. If you are merely curious about what Catholicism is, please feel free to come. All are welcome.
What is RCIA?

Are you a practicing adult Catholic seeking the Sacrament of Confirmation?
The Archdiocese of New York holds Adult Confirmation Programs at various times and locations throughout the year.
The Archdiocesan Adult Confirmation Program is designed for practicing adults (18+) Catholics, who have been baptized, have received their First Holy Communion and have been educated in the Catholic faith through Catholic schools or religious education programs. Your pastor’s permission is required for participation in the Adult Confirmation Program.
The eight week program will present an overview of the essentials of the Catholic faith, focusing on immediate reception of catechesis for the reception of the sacrament of Confirmation. This is a program of adult faith formation that combines presentations, group discussion, reflection and prayer. The sessions will cover Sacred Scripture and Tradition, the Creed, prayer, spirituality, the Church, Catholic social teaching and the meaning of the sacrament of Confirmation.
Go to this link for further details about the Archdiocesan Adult Confirmation Program.
This program is not for adults who are unbaptized, or baptized but un-catechized (not practicing Catholics), who would benefit from participation in the Parish’s RCIA process.
