Welcome to the RCIA Ministry of St. Catherine of Siena of Rialto website. We welcome you to take some time to get familiar with this site, as we hope that it will be a useful tool for Candidates, Catechumens, Team Members and anyone interested in learning more about the Catholic faith.
On this site you will find information about our program here at St. Catherine of Siena, session information, important dates and events of our parish, contact info, and hopefully, an extra sense of community.
“As the RCIA team members of Saint Catherine of Siena Catholic Church of Rialto, we will unite to continue our spiritual journey in understanding and promoting the Catholic faith. We will strive and commit ourselves to inspiring, guiding, and learning from our participants as they prepare to receive the gifts of the holy sacraments. As active members, we are committed to doing whatever it takes to facilitate and provide appropriate spiritual formation according to each person’s needs.”
