The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the process through which adults who are not Catholic may inquire about the Catholic faith and, if desired, Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist. RCIA is a process that invites participants to grow closer to God and the Catholic community, whether or not the participant ultimately decides to receive the sacraments of becoming Catholic.

The Spiritual Exercises in Everyday Life (SEEL) is a nine-month program based on the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola that meets monthly at St. Leo’s. With the assistance of spiritual directors from Roman Catholic and other Christian traditions, this “retreat” offers a gift of spiritual accompaniment, within a context of consistent personal prayer and a prayerful community. This retreat is best suited for those who have established a discipline of regular personal prayer, have experience of sharing their spiritual journey with one another, and who are called and committed to deepening personal faith and nurturing the seeds of a spirituality that transforms human society.
