One of the primary roles of the Church is to proclaim the Good News and to teach as Jesus did. This forms the very foundation and purpose of the Formation Committee: we seek to make known the Good News of Jesus Christ through teaching, spiritual enrichment and service in order to foster the Christian formation of all parishioners at all stages of life. Holy Trinity is blessed with a strong tradition of sound educational and formational offerings.

RCIA and CHILDREN’S CATECHUMENATE:
What is the RCIA?
The RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) is a process of initiation into the Catholic Community of Faith for persons who are experiencing a conversion in their lives and seeking either Christian baptism in the Catholic Church or full Communion with the Catholic tradition of Eucharist and Confirmation.
It is a process which enables the study of the Gospels, Catholic Christian teaching, the acceptance of Christian values and morality, the development and deepening of a life of prayer and action with the support and involvement of the local Christian community. The RCIA is more than a course of instruction. It is a process of conversion, designed to meet the unique and individual needs of the participants.
