BAPTISM FOR ADULTS and older young people

This is called the RCIA (Rite of Initiation of the Adult Catechumen)
People who participate experience satisfaction and enjoyment in this process.
It involves joining a group of other adults who have questions and inquiries to ask about the Catholic Church.

The time for INQUIRY is typically around the months of August and September.
The Stella Maris parish has a specially trained team of catechists who make the spiritual journey with those who are inquiring.

The culmination of this time of preparation is on Holy Saturday night at a Vigil ceremony (Easter).

It is called the Rite of Christian Initiation

Those who take part are not only baptized, but also receive the Sacraments of Confirmation and First Eucharist.

In the first instance, you may phone the Parish Office (07) 5443 3488.
You can make an appointment to speak with Sr Maree Byron.
Sister Maree has charge of the RCIA programme.
