FORMING LIFELONG DISCIPLES
RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF ADULTS (RCIA)
Inquiry Sessions for adults wanting to learn more about the Catholic Faith are held twice each year. These sessions are for those baptized in another Christian faith, for adults who are not baptized, and for adult Catholics who have not been confirmed. It is an informal opportunity to find out more about the Adult Initiation process at St. Mary's. "Come and see!"
All who are interested in full initiation into the Catholic Church must participate in one of the Inquiry Sessions. Each session is the same, so you only need to attend one. You are welcome to bring a friend or sponsor to the session.

YOUTH RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
The Regina Tri-Parish Religious Education Program, in cooperation with parents and parishes, strives to provide Catholic religious education for students in grades K-8. We follow Vatican II's objectives to make faith living, conscious, and active. We seek to create an environment where young Christians have the opportunity for personal encounter with Jesus, spiritual growth, gaining an understanding and knowledge of the Catholic faith, and deepening a respect for the dignity of others. We believe that by introducing children to Jesus Christ and fostering their relationship with Him, the children will be prepared to live the Christian life: loving God and loving others in God.
