According to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB),
the goals of adult faith formation are:

1. Invite and Enable Ongoing Conversion to Jesus in Holiness of Life.
2. Promote and Support Active Membership in the Christian Community.
3. Call and Prepare Adults to Act as Disciples in Mission to the World. 

At MMR, our adult faith formation offerings are designed to help participants know Jesus personally, become active participants in the Christian community and  "make disciples of all the nations" (Mt 28:18), as instructed by Our Lord.

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA ) is designed for previously unbaptized adults who, consciously and freely seek the living God and enter the way of faith and conversion as the Holy Spirit opens their hearts.  By God's help they will be strengthened spiritually during their preparation and at the proper time will receive the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Eucharist) fruitfully.  Baptized Christians desiring to join the Catholic Church may also participate in components of RCIA that are appropriate to their needs in preparation for the Rite of Reception into the Full Communion of the Catholic Church.   In addition, Catholics who have not completed the Sacraments of Initiation may also participate in components of RCIA that are appropriate to their needs in preparation for the completion of the Sacraments of Initiation. Initiation of adults is a gradual process that takes place within the parish community.  This journey includes periods for making inquiry and maturing in the faith and steps marking progress.  The  Inquiry period is an informal time for asking questions about faith in Jesus Christ and is an introduction to Gospel values and the beliefs and teachings of the Catholic Church, an opportunity for the beginnings of faith.  Inquiry sessions are generally held Thursday evenings at 7:00pm; anyone interested in learning more about the Catholic faith is welcome.   To contact someone for more information click here .
