Baptism For Adults and Older Children

This is called the RCIA (Rite of Initiation of Adults).

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).

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

Please ring the Parish Office on (07) 5443 3488.
