​RCIA: Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults
Contact: Laura Flanagan or Msgr. Hanneke at (314) 726-6200 or [email protected]

This program offers instruction in the Catholic faith to those interested in learning more about the Church. Those involved are welcomed into the Church during the Easter Vigil.  

Thinking about becoming Catholic? Are you looking for a “Faith Refresher”? RCIA isn’t just for persons interested in Catholicism. It’s for everyone who desires a deeper understanding of what we believe and practice as Catholics. The RCIA process is a journey that will help you come to understand what Jesus has in mind for you within the context of the Catholic Faith. 

During the period of inquiry, we invite everyone to come and learn about the process, bring questions, and determine if you would like to continue on your faith journey through the RCIA process.

Moms Transmit the Faith
Contact: Julie Riley | [email protected] | 314.707.9016
Meets monthly on Tuesdays in the morning and evening.
As the first and most important educators of their children, parents give personal testimony to the value and meaning of life. For Christian parents, this testimony must always be based on a deep knowledge and love of Jesus Christ. A mom cannot transmit this understanding if she doesn’t have it herself.
