RCIA
RCIA is the process by which adult men and women are initiated into the Catholic Church through the sacraments of Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation. Baptized adults also are welcome to complete initiation sacraments. Participants receive Catechetical instruction, Scripture reflection, faith sharing, prayer, and liturgical rites aimed at helping participants be strengthened spiritually and at the proper time receive the sacraments fruitfully. Sessions meet weekly from mid-September until after Easter on Thursday evenings from 7:00 pm-9:00 pm in room 206. Please contact Jill Fink at finkj@stjohnnyb.org with questions.

All women of the parish, from all walks of life, are welcome to join us for our monthly gathering of women, called devoted. We meet Wednesdays once a month in St. Joseph Hall at 7:30 pm for social time and the speaker begins at 8:00 pm. Join us for a little wine, a little chocolate, and some time to be restored.
