RCIA

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the process established for the universal Church for individuals to become Catholic and receive the sacraments of initiation—Baptism, Confirmation and the Eucharist. This initiation process also involves a parish community experiencing a renewal in its faith as it prepares and welcomes new members in the Church. The Rite speaks of conversion as a “spiritual journey.” Centered on fostering a deep relationship with Jesus and the Church he founded, this journey takes place through distinct stages over a period of time suitable to bring about a thorough catechesis, significant experience of the parish community, and commitment to the liturgical and moral life of the Catholic faithful. Keep in your prayers all those who have begun the first stage in the RCIA journey, the Period of Inquiry, also called the Precatechumenate.
