RCIA for Adults

Are you interested in becoming Catholic?
We would love to welcome you.

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a process developed by the Catholic Church for prospective converts to Catholicism who are above the age of infant baptism.

Candidates are gradually introduced to aspects of Catholic beliefs and practices. The basic process applies to adults and children who have reached catechetical age.

Adults preparing to become Catholics participate in a faith formation program that lasts, depending on needs, from six months to over a year. They normally celebrate the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist at the Easter Vigil.
