If you, are considering becoming a Catholic, or you are a baptized Catholic who is considering completing your Sacraments of Initiation (Confirmation and Holy Eucharist), our Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) process can help you. To decide whether this path is right for you, please contact our parish here in Barnegat. NJ. , where the trained RCIA team will meet with you and answer your questions. No immediate commitment is necessary at the time of initial inquiry.

The RCIA process is designed to offer you guidance and support in your spiritual journey towards a deepening relationship with Jesus. As you move forward through prayer, reflection, Scripture reading, storytelling, questioning, worshiping, and performing works of charity, RCIA members, along with the St. Mary’s Church community, will accompany you on your faith journey.
