RCIA<br />
Are you interested in learning more about the <strong>Catholic</strong> <strong>Church</strong>?<br />
Then you might be interested in joining the RCIA process.<br />
What do the initials RCIA stand for?<br />
The initials stand for the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults.<br />
What is the RCIA process?<br />
It is a process or journey for individuals who desire to establish or<br />
deepen their relationship with Our Lord, Jesus Christ and want to<br />
learn more about the teachings of the <strong>Catholic</strong> <strong>Church</strong>.<br />
The first step in this process is called the Inquiry or<br />
Evangelization Period. It is a time for individuals who are<br />
interested in learning more about the <strong>Catholic</strong> faith to begin to<br />
explore it and surface questions. It is also a time when the Sacred<br />
Scriptures will be introduced and discussed. This initial period is<br />
very informal but provides information and formational<br />
opportunities for those individuals who are looking to acquaint<br />
themselves with the <strong>Catholic</strong> faith.<br />
Inquiry Sessions will be held this summer.<br />
If you or someone you know is interested in learning more<br />
about the <strong>Catholic</strong> faith or you would like more information<br />
about the RCIA process, please call<br />
Linda Doyle at 314-822-1347 or e-mail her at<br />

A novel that depicts the men of Alpha Company in Vietnam.<br />

Grief, terror, love, longing, shame, fear—these were intangibles,<br />
