An Invitation 
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the process by which adults enter into full 
communion with the Roman Catholic Church.
RCIA is open to:
those who have not been baptized
those baptized in another Christian denomination who are considering becoming a member of the 
Roman Catholic Church
baptized Catholics who did not complete the Sacraments of Initiation or who were not raised in 
the practice of the Faith
During the week of February 14, 2010 we will begin the RCIA process. The exact day will be determined 
according to the needs of those who respond.
If you or someone you know might wish to explore the possibility of becoming a member of the Church or 
entering into full communion with the Church, please contact Fr. Larry before February 14. You may do 
so by phone at 508-234-7726 or by e-mail at fespo_99@yahoo.com.
