This Easter Sunday promises good Catholic programming with the broadcast of a moving one-hour special on the adult spiritual journey.
"Come to the Water: The Adult Journey to Baptism" will introduce viewers to some people who became Catholics through the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) in the Archdiocese of Seattle last year.
The documentary follows people through the yearlong program of adult education and initiation into the Catholic community, culminating with their baptism by immersion at the Easter Vigil. It was taped on location at Seattle's St. James Cathedral.
The reasons these people chose to join the Catholic Church are varied, says Helen Oesterle, RCIA program director at St. James.
