Welcome to the Catholic Church! The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a journey for those who wish to become Catholic. Founded by Jesus Christ and revived in the 1960s, RCIA is a gradual process that invites individuals to follow Christ and enter the life of faith in the Catholic Church. This process is divided into four periods: Inquiry, Catechumenate, Purification & Enlightenment, and Mystagogy. Each period is designed to deepen your understanding of the faith and prepare you for the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Communion.
The RCIA process begins with the period of Inquiry, where you explore the teachings of Jesus and ask questions without any commitment. Following this, the Catechumenate period involves formal instruction in Catholic beliefs and practices. The Rite of Election marks the start of Purification & Enlightenment, a time for spiritual preparation during Lent. Finally, Mystagogy, which follows your initiation at the Easter Vigil, helps you reflect on your new life in Christ. Whether baptized or not, anyone interested in joining the Catholic Church is welcome to begin this rewarding journey. For more information, please contact our Pastor or Coordinators of RCIA.
