Pat Thompson, teacher of RCIA at Sacred Heart, gave the program on the RCIA. She stated, although she was raised in the Catholic Church and attended Catholic schools all of her life, she has learned so much more about our faith since teaching RCIA. She told us that many of the RCIA participants have had no religious background. Pat is having classes on “Just the Basics” for anyone interested in reviewing their faith
