The RCIC/Sacramental Prep Program is open to students in grades 2 through High School who have not yet received any formal Religious Education and/or are in need of any of the following Sacraments: Baptism, First Penance, First Holy Communion or Confirmation.
RCIC/Sacramental Prep classes are held on Monday evenings September-May.
Please note: Confirmation requires two years of preparation.
For more information and to register please contact the Religious Education Office at 703-817-1773 or email plaing@st-andrew.org.
Rite of Christian Initiation classes begin each September and meet weekly in the Padre Pio Room. Registration for RCIA 2022-23 is now CLOSED.
These classes are primarily for non-Catholics who would like to learn about the Catholic faith with the intention of entering the Church at the Easter Vigil in 2023 or for Catholics preparing for the sacraments they missed as a child. However, all who are interested in growing in their knowledge of the faith are welcome to attend. Classes will be each Monday from September 19 and continue to Easter.
Those intending to enter the Church or to receive one of the sacraments at Easter must be committed to attending each weekly class.
All attending the class must be 18 years old or older and a high school graduate.
If you or someone you know is interested, please contact the Parish Office at 703-817-1770 or parish.office@st-andrew.org.
