RCIA - RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION FOR ADULTS

 What is RCIA?
The Process of becoming Catholic – Joining the Catholic Church and Completing the Sacraments in the Church for Adults (Eucharist and Confirmation)

All are Welcome!
RCIA is a process of study, exploration, faith-sharing, and faith formation with specific liturgical rites for seekers and inquirers. Seekers and inquirers are non-baptized adults who desire to be fully initiated into the Roman Catholic Church and/or baptized adult Christians who desire full communion in the Roman Catholic Church.

Adults or older children who have not been baptized and desire to join the Church are invited into the ancient celebration of the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. During this process, which is marked by regular ritual acts, participants are introduced to the liturgy, the teachings, and the life of the Catholic Church.

Adults or older children who were baptized in another Christian denomination prepare in a similar way for the sacraments of Confirmation and the Eucharist during their reception into the Catholic Church.

RCIA is a Journey. RCIA formation begins in the early summer and continues through the year concluding at the Easter vigil. If you know someone who is thinking about joining the Church or hasn’t made their sacraments encourage them to call – sometimes all someone all someone needs is to be asked.​
