Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)
The rite of Christian initiation is designed for adults who, after hearing the mystery of Christ proclaimed, 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, they will receive the sacraments fruitfully.
This rite includes the celebration of the sacraments of baptism, confirmation, and Eucharist. Unbaptized and baptized, but previously un-catechized, adults celebrate the full communion of the Catholic Church, through inquiry and maturing, purification and enlightenment, and evangelization and celebration of Christian initiation, at Easter Vigil. It is a time for deepening the Christian experience for spiritual growth and for entering more fully into the life and unity of the Catholic community.
All adult inquiries regarding the RCIA program can be forwarded to the Most Holy Trinity Parish Office by phone, 203-269-8791, or by email, church@mhtwallingford.org.
Bible Project
The Youth Engagement Committee, subcommittee of the Most Holy Trinity Pastoral Council has begun an initiative to purchase a Bible for every Faith Formation student, with the intention of opening their hearts to the Word of God.
We would ask for a donation of $25 per Bible. This will cover the cost of the Bible including shipping. Each parishioner who purchases a Bible for a student will be asked to fill out a book plate indicating that the Bible was purchased specifically for that student.
