Faith and Education – Adults
Thinking about becoming Catholic? check out RCIA
The RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) is the series of learning sessions and celebrations by which adults learn and experience the Roman Catholic church in order to become a member, or, to refresh knowledge of the faith. Times together are scheduled once a week from fall until Easter. Fr. Mark, our pastor, and the RCIA team offer various presentations.
Want to volunteer with children? A Safe Environment class is needed
Safe Environment classes are required for those who volunteer with any children or vulnerable adults. They are offered periodically in our parish. To join a class, go to the Virtus website and look for St. Cecilia. Classes are also offered in other parishes and the Chancery (next door to the Cathedral in Seattle)
If you have questions, please contact the parish office, 206-842-3594
