RCIA - The process by which Adults
become Catholic.
Are you interested in learning more
about the Catholic Church? Are you unbaptized but recognize a need for
spirituality in your life? Are you baptized Catholic or baptized into
another religion but never received any formal religious education?
Are you married to a Catholic and attend Mass but just don't know what
the next step is to become one of the Catholic faithful? The Rite of
Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the place for you. Every year
adults are welcomed into the Catholic Community through RCIA. It is a
learning and loving process in which conversion of the heart brings
you to Jesus Christ who is our Lord and Savior.
