The Rite of Christian Initiation (RCIA)

The RCIA is a process that welcomes men and women into the Catholic Christian Community. An invitation is given to those who have never been baptized, have been baptized in another Christian faith tradition, or to those who have been baptized Catholic but have not received the Sacraments of Confirmation or Eucharist or any spiritual formation.



The process includes instruction in the teachings of the Catholic Church, reflection on Sacred Scripture, participation in community worship and prayer, and sharing in the mission of the Church through Christian service. An open invitation extends to interested persons throughout the year.
