Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a process through which adults learn about and prepare to join the Catholic Church. It involves a series of stages including inquiry, catechumenate (learning about faith), and preparation for full initiation through sacraments like Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist. RCIA provides spiritual growth, community involvement, and deeper understanding of Catholic beliefs and practices, guiding individuals at their own pace toward full membership. It aims to foster a meaningful conversion experience and integration into the church community.
