The RCIA is an opportunity to journey into our Catholic faith, as well as prepare to receive the Sacraments of Initiation. This journey is marked by four distinct periods:

The Rite of Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a process for bringing into the Catholic Church both those who have never been baptized (Catechumens) and those who were baptized in a non-Catholic Church (Candidates for Full Communion). RCIA is also the best way for adult Catholics who have never been confirmed to prepare for that final Sacrament of Initiation.

Each year in September, Holy Family begins a new RCIA class and we invite everyone to participate who would like to understand the teachings and customs of the Catholic Church or to join the Catholic Church. The RCIA journey begins on Tuesdays in September from 6:45-7:45 pm in the parish hall and will continue until June.

Interested individuals can contact the rectory at 301.249.2266. If you need child care, please indicate that as well.

"Jesus let me come to know you"

A weekly lectionary based program that helps teens to understand and live the Gospel more fully. Classes are held on Tuesday evenings from 6:45 - 7:45 p.m. All materials are provided.

• High School Classes Resume on September 8th

The Religious Education and Formation of all people is the paramount mission of Holy Family Parish. As catechists of Holy Family our mission is to promote the faith, teach the word of God, in our parish and community. We will strive to help all to explore their Catholic faith, develop morally correct attitudes towards God, self and others as they grow in religious understanding and practice. Specifically, by our own example and commitment to our own formation, we will assist parents in their roles as primary educators of their children. Our classes meet on Sundays from 10:40 to 11:50 am. Classes are available for children in preschool through 8th grade.  

Children with Special Needs or Developmental Delays - We are in our first year of a pilot program to serve these children and their families. We believe that all children should have the opportunity to build a relationship with God at his/her level. Our catechists work one-on-one with each child in our program. For more information, please contact Pam Rozanski.
