RCIA for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.

RCIA for the Deaf classes are either signed in ASL, interpreted, or simultaneously communicated in ASL and English. The Diocese of Orange Church program for the Deaf is entirely made possible by the Pastoral Services Appeal. The PSA is particularly mentioned because to make a retreat for the Deaf possible requires proper funding. Moreover, since Christ Our Savior Parish was dedicated our community is growing substantially. We are welcomed and extend the welcome for you to join our parish deaf community.

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults

Roman Catholic Initiation for Adults is designed to be a two year program. Why? Because it takes time answering questions that each person has in the group. Moreover, our approach takes into account human, intellectual, spiritual, and pastoral pillars of formation. Our team of formators walks with each person to introduce Jesus Christ into their life. This introduction is so sacred that created and creator become ever close to eachother in the sacrament of Confirmation. An indeliable mark is placed upon the soul that cannot be undone. It is there forever. Moreover, the Holy Spirit descends down and rests in the Christian soul. The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit are given for the soul and body to use and enjoy.

Receiving the sacrament of confirmation is a huge spiritual embrace and gift from God to you. God loves us so much that he sends the Holy Spirit to enter and dwell in our soul. This is the definition of grace (The indwelling of the Holy Spirit). We hope to see you here.
