Rite of Christian Initiation

RCIA

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is an opportunity for adults who may be considering joining the Catholic church or would simply like to learn more about what Catholics believe and why. Weekly sessions begin in the fall and encourage conversation about God, faith, the human person, and the meaning of life. Those who wish will be offered the opportunity to receive the sacraments of initiation (baptism, Eucharist, confirmation) at Easter-time.

Rite of Christian Initiation of Children (RCIA Adapted for Children)

This special program is intended for children who have reached the age of reason (7 years old) who have not been baptized and want to join the Catholic Church. They seek Christian initiation either at the direction of their parents or guardians or, with parental permission, on their own initiative. During this process, the children will receive a better understanding of what it means to know and love God through age-appropriate materials and instruction.
