Testimonials

Going on this journey of faith as a couple has been a blessing that helped us rediscover our world and transformed our hearts in ways we never expected. 

It gave us a shared spiritual foundation that now anchors our walk through life, especially as we begin this new chapter as parents. His teachings have become a source of strength in difficult times, joy in everyday blessings, and comfort when we need it most.

-K & Y

Supporting the RCIA Core Team has been a truly inspiring and humbling experience for my wife and me. Following my baptism, we joined the RCIA Ministry to serve and support others on their faith journey. We were deeply moved by the dedication and commitment of the Core Team and sponsors, who faithfully journeyed with the inquirers and catechumens, fostering a strong sense of fellowship and community.

- Adrian & Alice Chu

Attending the sponsor formation course by the Office for Catechesis was timely and enriching. It deepened my awareness of who God is, who we are, and how we are called to journey with others. Since then, there has been no turning back. 

- Juliana Tan

My husband and I became RCIA sponsors to give back & help inquirers on their conversion journey. However, doing this as a couple has been a unique & beautiful blessing that has also strengthened our marriage by focusing on our shared spiritual foundation. The speakers' sharing refresh our biblical knowledge & the candidates' enthusiasm inspires us & reminds us not to take the Sacraments for granted. We go to share our faith, and leave every season with our faith profoundly deepened as well. We're very grateful for the bountiful blessings of being a part of this Ministry.

- Joanne and Daren

Undergoing RCIA in the parish of St Bernadette has helped me to close a seven-year chapter of debating whether I should have faith in Christ as our Lord and Saviour. Sharing the faith with other working adults emboldened my faith, growing from a mustard seed to a young tree that continues to grow.

Walking With You, As a Sponsor
 

 

Sponsorship is a journey of accompaniment, not as an expert, but as a fellow pilgrim. You walk alongside someone discovering faith, offering presence, prayer, and friendship.

Frequently Asked Questions

When can I begin?

Our Introduction to RCIA sessions are planned for the first Wednesday of every month at 8pm. Pending our priest's schedule (he's in high demand, but he always makes time for seekers!).

We usually pool a few new friends (sponsors, companions, inquirers, support) together so you’re not journeying solo. It’s always more fun (and less scary!) when you’re discovering the faith with company. Think of it as a mini meet-and-greet with God, community, and maybe even your future spiritual BFFs. 

Is there an age requirement?

RCIA is meant for adults 18 years and above.
