Becoming Catholic-The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults

For adults interested in learning more about becoming Catholic, the Church provides a process called The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA).

· This process is designed for those with little or no experience of the Christian Faith as well as for those who have experienced other faith traditions.

· The process includes an exploration of Catholicism through scripture study, faith sharing, discussion, discernment, and the celebration of rites.

· The weekly sessions provide preparation for celebration of the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist, for those who choose to become Catholic.

· Interested individuals can begin attending Becoming Catholic sessions at any time during the year.

· Celebration of the Rite of Acceptance occurs when each adult decides he/she is wants to continue the inquiry and preparation for becoming a Catholic.

Becoming Catholic/R.C.I.A Sessions meet Sundays 9:45-10:50 AM beginning September 20th in the Adult Formation Room.

Perhaps someone you know was never baptized but has expressed an interest in being baptized. Perhaps someone you know has been raised in another Christian tradition and has been curious about the Catholic Church. Perhaps someone you know has never been to church but has expressed an interest in finding out more about what faith in God is all about. The RCIA is intended for people just such as these—people we all know. The RCIA is for people of all ages—adults, youth and children.

If you know anyone (adult or child) who is interested in becoming Catholic, please offer them a personal invitation to explore the Catholic Church by inviting them to consider being a part of the RCIA.

For those who are already fully-initiated members of the Church (baptized and confirmed), serving as a sponsor for the RCIA is a terrific way of learning more about our faith.
