Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) -  Are you interested in becoming a Catholic Christian, being Baptised, or completing your sacraments in your Catholic Faith (First Eucharist, Reconciliation, Confirmation)?  If so please call the Parish Office for more information at 410-687-6011.  Baptism is a sign of grace instituted by Christ and marks the beginning of our lives as members of the Body of Christ.  Reconciliation, also called Penance or Confession, is the scramental celebration in which (through the mercy of God) our sins are forgiven.  The Eucharist is celebrated during Mass, this sacramental action of thanksgiving to God recalls Jesus' actions and words at the Last Supper where he commanded his disciples to "Do this in memory of Me."   Confirmation represents the beginning of a very new and personal relationship with Christ, is administered by the Bishop, who represents Christ in sending the newly confirmed "out into the world," empowered with the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Those who so generously volunteer at St. Clare are asked to login to VIRTUSonline.org (VIRTUS replaced Shield the Vunerable which replaced STAND) and complete the requested information.   Anyone who volunteers at St. Clare's will need to complete this training.  Anyone with substantial contact with Children is also required to supply three references, complete a criminal history screening, and complete VIRTUSonline training.

The process is done online and takes approximately 1 1/2 hours, but once the initial registration is complete you can stop and continue it later.  

Completed online training will notify the VIRTUS Screening Coordinator at St. Clare Parish with an email that the training is complete.  The training is good for 5 years.  If you have any questions, please contact Vicki DeRuggiero, our VIRTUS Screening Coordinator at 410-687-6011 ext. 103 or Parishoffice@saintclare.org.
