Sacramental Preparation

Anyone wishing to join the Catholic Church or learn more about the religion are invited to attend the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) inquiry sessions, held each fall. The program will begin on Wednesday, September 12, 2007, at 7pm in the Costello Room. These sessions will continue each Wednesday night through October 24th.

For more information, please contact Doris Rhea at 765-284-2413.

If you have a child seven years of age or older who has not been baptized, they belong in the RCIC program. Any child who is interested in joining the Catholic Church is invited to RCIC this year. We have a program whereby the children attend both F.E.P. and RCIC on an alternating schedule.

Please contact Doris Rhea at 765-284-2413.

Both parents and godparents are required to attend preparatory sessions before the Baptism. Couples are encouraged to attend both sessions before the birth of their child.

Classes are held at 7:00 pm on the first and second Wednesdays in February, May, August, and November.

Marriage preparation must begin at least six months prior to the anticipated date of marriage. Call Fr. John at 765-288-6180 to arrange your initial meeting.

Students: Marriage preparation may begin here even though the marriage may be held elsewhere.

Notify the office when you are going into the hospital. Notify us if you would like the Sacrament of the Sick, Communion, or visitation at home.
