Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a process within the Catholic Church for adults seeking to join the faith. It involves a series of stages, including inquiry, catechesis (religious education), and initiation through the sacraments of baptism, confirmation, and Eucharist. Participants explore Catholic beliefs and practices, guided by a community of mentors and the church. This journey emphasizes personal reflection, spiritual growth, and integration into the church community, culminating in receiving the sacraments, typically during the Easter Vigil. RCIA is a welcoming path for those interested in deepening their faith and commitment to the Church.
