RCIA: Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults
Who is this process for???
- Someone who has never been baptized
- Individuals who were baptized in another Christian Denomination
- Adults who were baptized Catholic but have not received First Holy Communion and/or Confirmation
RCIA is the process through which the participants learn about the Catholic faith and deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ and the Catholic community as they journey toward full initiation into the life of the Church.
Becoming Catholic
“Faith…takes the form of a journey, a path to be followed, which begins with an encounter with the living God.”
-- Pope Francis, Lumen Fidei (46)
Is God inviting you into deeper relationship?
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a journey toward full communion in the Roman Catholic Church. It is designed for adults who are either…
- Unbaptized or baptized in a non-Catholic Christian tradition who are interested in becoming Catholic.
- Baptized Catholic, but have not received the remainder of their Sacraments of Initiation (Holy Communion and Confirmation).
RCIA is not only about learning what the Catholic Church believes and teaches, but also how Catholics live and celebrate faith in daily life. In short, RCIA is about sharing the faith with people who are seeking God.
