To start: contact Tanya Belanger 865-671-2392 or thebelangers@tds.net to make an appointment.
Please Note: You do not need to have decided to become Catholic to begin the first part of RCIA called Inquiry classes!
This Faith Formation process is open to any adult non-Catholic interested in discovering and learning more about the mysteries of the Catholic faith. Summer Inquiry sessions are held on the 2nd & 4th Monday evenings from 6:30-7:30 p.m. Formation classes are held Sunday mornings from 9:30-11:30am (with Childcare) and Monday evenings from 7-9pm (without childcare) beginning September 12. Candidates and Catechumens choosing to complete the process are brought into full communion with the Catholic Church at the Easter Vigil.
