This is Christ the King Catholic Church. Tonight, Rob and I went to our first RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) class here to see what it is all about. RCIA is the process through which interested adults and older children are gradually introduced to the Roman Catholic faith and way of life. Rob and I have had many discussions recently in our home regarding faith and religion and where we are now, where we see ourselves going. Rob keeps feeling a connection and a pull toward the Catholic church, and I am very open to it as well. So, after having a couple discussions with my good friend Tom Huntington, he suggested that we start tonight, as the series of classes are just getting underway again. He is a deacon at the church and participates in RCIA, and told me tonight was an introduction to the church, a tour of the building, and some etiquette do's and don'ts on attending Mass for those new to the church. Rob and I agreed it was as good a place as any to start.
In the end, after two very informative hours, my head was packed with information, and I was exhausted and hungry. But, I did enjoy the class very much, and am now looking forward to attending Mass on Sunday to put it all together and put what we learned tonight into action.
