The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a way for those desiring to enter the Catholic Church to explore the Catholic faith in an informative, non-threatening, safe, and fun environment. It is also a way for those who wish to join in full Communion with the Church to enter.  If you or someone you know would like to learn more about the Catholic faith, want to join the Church, or would like to be in full Communion with the Church, please contact Greg or Penny Payne at 228-365-6348 or call the Parish Rectory.
