Faith Formation
RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) is the process of welcoming and forming adults to enter the Catholic Church. Sessions begin in October and are open to anyone who would like to learn more about the Catholic Faith and explore the journey towards initiation into the Church. St. Peter’s is ready to welcome all who are seeking, and no prior knowledge or background is necessary. With God’s guidance, we take this journey together. For more information or to register call the office at 301-334-2202.
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
A Family of Faith follows a four-year cycle: one pillar of the Catechism is covered per year from September through May. Parents are given a detailed picture of authentic and vibrant Catholic family life, the tools to implement this life in their home, and age-appropriate readings, games, crafts, and other activities to help them deepen among their children a love for Christ and His Church.
Each year is self-contained, and so families may join at any time in the cycle. After four years, families will have been guided through the entirety of the Catechism and will have developed a broad understanding of the Church's teachings. Families then cycle through the program again in order to deepen their knowledge and develop the habits needed for life-long spiritual growth.
