How do we indicate or reserve space for friends and family?

We are going to be very full and unfortunately cannot guarantee seating for friends and family. Space for friends and family will be limited to what is available after all RCIA groups have registered. Likely, no additional space for guests will be allowed. Each catechumen or candidate will be able to bring their sponsor. We will update you about available seats for friends and family after registration closes. Expect an email in the first week of February with final numbers.
