Serving the Catholic Community of Castro Valley

I’m Interested In Becoming A Catholic (RCIA)

“I have called you by name: you are Mine” (Isaiah 43:1)

Welcome to Our Lady of Grace Adult Faith Formation! Becoming a Catholic is a process called RCIA-Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults. We are so honored to walk with you on this faith journey that can lead you to a life of peace, faith, and hope.

If you have never been baptized and find yourself drawn to the Catholic faith, we extend to you an invitation to explore the possibilities of becoming a member of the Catholic Church. If you have been baptized in another Christian faith tradition, we offer the invitation to join in full communion with the Catholic Church. Perhaps you have already been baptized in the Catholic faith but have never received the sacraments of Eucharist or Confirmation. Your invitation is to complete your Sacraments of Initiation. All of these invitations are to a new way of life, a way that draws one closer to God and to his people.

All are welcome! Please contact the Parish Office at 510-537-0806 to register & for more information.

This year, our class will be using the online text of Symbolon: The Catholic Faith Explained
