RCIA & RCIC Enquiry for 2026:
RCIA-Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults - Each year the parish runs a process called the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults. It is primarily designed to prepare those who wish to become Catholic, but it is also for those who want to embrace more closely their own faith, or those who may wish to familiarize themselves with the faith of their Catholic spouse. If you would like to enquire about the RCIA programme, please see Father Vinh, or contact the parish office on 94571066 or email heidelberg@cam.org.au
RCIC-Rite of Christian Initiation Children - Catholic parent/s wanting their child/ren 9 years old and above to be baptized into the Catholic faith, please contact Father Vinh or call the office on 94571066 during office hours.
Parish Prayer
Heavenly Father, we the parishioners of St John’s are grateful for all we have received from the men, women and children of our past. Help us to cherish and maintain our parish heritage. Most of all, enable us to be people who welcome the stranger, the needy, the sick and the lonely. Like St John, our patron saint, may we be people who love others, as your Son Jesus, asked us to do.
We make this prayer, through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Child Safety: St John’s Parish is committed to the safety, wellbeing and dignity of all our children, young people and vulnerable adults. Children are to be supervised by a parent/guardian at all times in the church and when leaving the church for any reason.
