Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)

For those who desire to become Catholic or to complete their initiation into the Catholic Church, our parish offers a preparation process called the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. For those who are considering becoming Catholic, the R.C.I.A. provides an opportunity to learn about the Faith and ask questions in a welcoming environment. For more information, please contact the Office of Religious Education.

Rite of Christian Initiation of Children (RCIC)

The R.C.I.C., an adaptation of the R.C.I.A., is a sacramental preparation process intended for children who, for whatever reason, were not baptized as infants. We also include children (ages 6 and older) who are already baptized and are preparing for the sacraments of Penance, Holy Eucharist and Confirmation. For more information, please contact the Office of Religious Education.

Religious Education Classes

Religious Education classes are available to children in grades K-8 who attend public schools on Sunday mornings from 9:30-10:45 a.m. For more information or to register please contact the Religious Education Office at (703) 528-6199.

High School Youth Group

The High School Youth Group is getting off to a slow start this year. We are in the process of hiring a Youth Minister to run the program. Once we have a Youth Minister on board we will host a gathering of teens to launch the new program. Watch the church bulletin check back here for further information.
