What if I'm not ready to make a commitment to the Church yet?
We don't expect that you can make a firm decision at the beginning of the year, whether you will be able to make a commitment of this magnitude. This is a deep, life-changing decision.
Instead, we invite you to come, participate, and learn. We will offer several times of discernment where you can focus on your personal stage of conversion, and if this isn't the right time for you, we totally respect your decision. All that we ask is that you be open and participate. If the time is right, it will become apparent to you.
It is not uncommon for people to go through the RCIA program more than once, or to switch parishes (especially due to moves), or to drop out of the program and then return later. We ask that if you wish to go through RCIA, that you start at the beginning, as classes are structured to build on each other in a logical fashion.
