Thinking About Becoming Catholic? Come and See!The Saint Anne Catholic Community welcomes those who may have an interest in becoming Catholic, including those who wish to complete their confirmation. Please join Fr. Rodolfo and other adults on their faith journey for inspiring conversations about how becoming Catholic can enhance your life.
Important Questions
Do you wish to become Catholic?
Do you or does your fiancé, your spouse, another family member or a friend desire to receive any or all of the sacraments of initiation: Baptism, Confirmation or Eucharist?
If you answered yes to these questions, then RCIA (the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) is the answer!
An Invitation to RCIA
We will be holding an Open House on Wednesday, August 20, 2025 at 6:30 p.m. in the Gathering Space of the Church for those who are interested in joining the RCIA process. This group would receive their Sacraments at the Easter Vigil on Saturday, April 4, 2026. All are welcome!
Please contact, RCIA Director Fr. Rodolfo Ramirez at [email protected] or 847-382-5300, or RCIA Coordinator Andrea Wirt at [email protected] or 847-382-5300 if you are interested in becoming Catholic, or serving as a sponsor or godparent to someone going through the RCIA process.
"We are often preoccupied with teaching doctrine, the way of living our faith, but we risk forgetting that our first task is to teach what it means to know Jesus Christ and to bear witness to our closeness to the Lord. This comes first: to communicate the beauty of the faith, the beauty and joy of knowing Jesus. It means that we ourselves are living it and sharing this experience."— Pope Leo XIV
