A message from
Fr. Carlin ~
Do you know anyone who would like to learn more about the Catholic Church? Do you know anyone who has expressed an interest in joining the Catholic Faith? If so, RCIA is the way to go.
RCIA stands for Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. RCIA in for those unbaptized, those baptized in another Christian Faith, or for those baptized Catholic but have not received the Sacraments of Eucharist and Confirmation.
RCIA meets weekly, beginning in September. Each session focuses on an aspect of the Catholic Faith. Father Kevin Fox and Deacon Dan Galla coordinate the RCIA team. RCIA concludes on Holy Saturday when the candidates are baptized or make a Profession of Faith, receive First Eucharist, and are confirmed..
Please share this information about St Charles RCIA with family, friends or neighbors who might be interested.
Those who join the RCIA process each year are drawn from those not baptized, or for those baptized in another Christian faith, who want to learn more about the Catholic Church. Typical RCIA participants might be those who are planning marriage to a Catholic, those who have been married to a Catholic for some time, those who have a child receiving First Communion in the spring, or someone who has been thinking for a while about joining the Church.
No long-term commitment is requested at this time -- just "come and see" as the Gospel says.
If interested, or for more information, please contact Fr Kevin Fox at the Parish Office (440-884-3030).

RCIA is a program for adults seeking to join the Catholic Church and the St. Charles Borromeo Parish family. Those adults who are consciously and freely seeking God and a conversion in the Holy Spirit are encouraged to explore the teachings of the Church and the experience of the St. Charles Borromeo Faith Community's dedication to living and growing in Christ together. Thus, we pray that a person’s heart will be opened to, and remain rooted in, the loving grace of God.The R.C.I.A. program begins each fall and culminates in the Liturgy of Holy Saturday. For those interested in more information or participating in the next R.C.I.A. program, please contact Fr. Kevin Fox, Deacon Dan Galla, or the Parish Office 440-884-3030. May the Holy Spirit open the hearts and minds of all those discerning Communion with our Lord’s Holy Church.
Veni Sancti Spiritus, Come, Holy Spirit, Come.
It is Jesus that you seek when you dream of happiness; He is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you; He is the beauty to which you are so attracted; it is He who provoked you with that thirst for fullness that will not let you settle for compromise; it is He who urges you to shed the masks of a false life; it is He who reads in your heart your most genuine choices, the choices that others try to stifle.
Pope St. John Paul II
