The RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) is the process that helps to incorporate those adults who have not been baptized or those who have been baptized in another Christian Tradition who are called to join the Catholic Communion, or Catholics who have not completed their initiation through Confirmation and Eucharist.
An essential ministry in the RCIA process is that of sponsor. A sponsor is one who journeys with an adult who is in this process. Yes, it takes time. Yes, it is a commitment. But what is more rewarding and fulfilling than sharing your faith and getting to know someone on this level? And besides, the payment or reward is “out of this world”! For information on how to be a sponsor call the Parish Life Center Office at 651-429-7771 or send an email hwelter@stmarys-wbl.org!
