"Education in the faith by the parents should begin in the child's earliest years. This already happens when the family members help one another to grow in faith by the witness of Christian life in keeping with the Gospel. Family catechesis precedes, accompanies, and enriches other forms of instruction in the faith. Parents have the mission of teaching their children to pray and to discover their vocation as children of God. The parish is the Eucharistic community and the heart of the liturgical life of Christian families; it is a privileged place for the catechesis of children and parents." (Catechism of the Catholic Church 2226)
The Faith Formation team at St. Paul Catholic Church seeks to help people of all ages encounter Christ and grow in their faith.- Infant Baptism

Infant Baptism
"The soul is regenerated in the sacred waters of baptism and thus becomes God's child."
-St. Maximilian Kolbe
To prepare your child for baptism, first make sure to PRAY for them! Second, begin praying about potential godparents. A godparent shouldn't be chosen for social or family reasons, but should be someone who will help guide your child in their Catholic faith.

ADULT RCIA
What is R.C.I.A.?
R.C.I.A. (or simply "RCIA") stands for the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, the process by which an adult person is initiated into the Catholic Church, through Baptism, Confirmation, and First Holy Communion. Through this process the adult is formed in the Christian faith, with the local parish community serving as both catechists and models.
Who is in the R.C.I.A.?
* Un-baptized adults
* Adults baptized in non-Trinitarian formula
* Adults baptized as Catholic, but lack First Holy Communion and Confirmation
* Adults baptized & confirmed infants in the Catholic Church, but lack First Holy Communion
* Adults baptized in other Christian Churches, in the Trinitarian formula w/water
Sessions are Wednesdays, 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., and they run from October until the end of April To register, please submit this form to the parish office before October. Download Calendar for RCIA. -
