RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults)

RCIA might be the right place for you if you are:

• interested in becoming a member of the Catholic faith

• a baptized Catholic who has not received the sacraments of Confirmation, Reconciliation, or Eucharist

• simply interested in learning more about the Catholic faith

• Do you have a relative or friend who is or might be interested in learning more about the Catholic faith? Take a chance, reach out to them and extend a personal invitation. The “inquiry” period is a time where those exploring the Catholic faith have an opportunity to have questions answered and in a very basic way begin to understand the Catholic fai

• a practicing Catholic who would like to be a companion or sponsor to those taking the RCIA faith journey and update their understanding of their faith at the same time
  
  WHAT IS IT?
  
  The RCIA is the process by which we bring adults into the Catholic faith. The RCIA a journey that provides a living experience of the Church. In the RCIA we come together to form community, to pray, and to learn. Unbaptized adults will come into the faith through the sacrament of Baptism. They will also receive the sacraments of Confirmation & Eucharist. Adults who have received valid baptism in other Christian faiths, come into the Church by making a Profession of Faith and completing the Initiation Sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist.
