The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is the process through which unbaptized adults and children who have reached the age of reason are initiated into the Catholic Church. Baptized but uncatechized adults and children share a similar journey as they prepare for full initiation or to be received into full communion. St. Rose of Lima Parish offers a year- round process that invites interested individuals and families to begin whenever they are able to do so. For all, the process is gradual and is marked by rituals celebrated throughout the liturgical year. Please contact Mary Carey, Monday-Friday, between the hours of 9am-5pm, at 301-948-7545.
