Adult Initiation Process (RCIA)
Invitation to RCIA

The process of becoming Catholic is formally known as the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA). It is a gradual process of spiritual formation that includes prayer, sharing, and study and occurs in the context of the parish community over the span of several months.  It is intended for adults who:

1. Are unbaptized and would like to be fully initiated and welcomed into the Catholic Church through the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist

2.  Were baptized in another Christian community/tradition* and seek to be received into the full communion of the Catholic Church through the sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist

3.  Were baptized as Catholics* as infants/children but have not received the sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist

*Proof of valid Christian baptism is required (by way of certificate or letter of verification from one’s church of baptism).

Those who complete the RCIA process will be received into the Church at the Easter Vigil. 

RCIA will begin meeting weekly on Sunday mornings from 10-11:15 AM starting on Sunday, September 18th. Please contact Paul Gallagher, Director of Faith Formation or one of our priests for further information.
