Become Catholic
Rite of Christian Initiation
RCIA (for adults) and RCIC (for children) is the way to come to know the Catholic faith and be initiated into the Church through Baptism, Confirmation and the Eucharist.
Who is it for?
Those who have never been baptized, those baptized in another Christian tradition who wish to become Catholic, and baptized Catholics who have not yet received First Communion or Confirmation.
Participants commit to weekly sessions, weekly Mass and retreat days with fellow participants. Each applicant first meets the Pastor to discern together their readiness for the program.
