RCIA
Do you know someone who has expressed an interest in our Catholic Faith? Have you thought about becoming a Catholic? RCIA, the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is a way to do so! It is a spiritual journey whose goal is to discover whether one is being called to a life as a Catholic Christian by teaching them the beliefs of our religion & observing the landmarks or rites along the way that reveal where God is leading them. If you want to experience the joy of the Lord in the Catholic Church, we invite you to speak with us. For more information please contact one of the priests or call a team member at 908-464-6699.

FAITH-FILLED ADULTS

All Catholic children attending public schools should attend religious education classes so that they may be well grounded in our faith and be prepared for the sacraments. You may either mail your completed forms to the Catechetical Office or drop them off at our Office located in the rectory.

Please check your heart to see if God is calling you to the catechetical ministry, and then phone the Catechetical Office at 908-464-8156 so we can give you all the info you need. Catechists are not necessarily professional teachers; they are just ordinary faith-filled adults who love our Catholic faith and enjoy interacting with children and young people. We will help you with the tools you need, including curriculum, lesson planning, and training. Our goal is to keep class sizes small (between 8 & 10 students per class.) Your help will enable us to meet this goal.

First Grade
Dont delay registering your young one for religious Education sessions. Our First Reconciliation and Eucharist preparation begins in grade one. Children generally receive First Reconciliation in the second grade and First Communion in the third grade after they have experienced full preparation during those three years.
