Adults becoming Catholic
The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) welcomes and initiates those who choose to become Catholic by providing Catholic Christian formation.
Who is RCIA for?

- Those who have been baptized in another Christian faith, but now want to become Catholic.
- People who have baptized as Catholics but never received, and now want, the sacraments of Confirmation and the Eucharist.
RCIA classes at Saint Columban are held on Sunday’s. The group attends the 9:30 AM Mass. After Mass they meet for a group reflection followed by a talk by one of team members. If you are interested and would like more information, please contact Sister Brid O’Shea at (714) 741-9492 or via email to garnaman@yahoo.com or boshea@saintcolumbanchurch.org.
