What is RCIA?
The Rite of Christian Initiation is a gradual process of conversion and initiation into the Catholic community. Grounded in a respect for the personal faith journey of each individual, RCIA provides an extended period of prayer, study, and fellowship in which each individual has the opportunity to grow in relationship with God and the parish community.
Who Would Need RCIA?
How Does Someone Start RCIA?
The process begins with a period of inquiry for those who have felt called to consider the Catholic faith. Here you will find an open space to ask questions about what Catholics hold and believe while meeting others striving to live Gospel values. Know that initial inquiry does not necessarily commit you to initiation.
