This program is the Church’s way to welcome those who wish to join the Catholic Church and have no religious background or are coming from other religions. It also helps baptized Catholics who have not received First Reconciliation, First Eucharist and Confirmation complete their faith and sacramental journey into the Church.
Sessions begin in September and continue on Tuesday evenings until Holy Saturday night, the eve of Easter Sunday.
The program embraces information, formation, prayer, liturgy, question and answer dialogue and the building of community among the participants.
For the latest information or to sign up for the classes, please contact the parish office at 773-539-7510 or parish@queenofangelschicago.org.
