Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults

RCIA

Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults is a process of conversion that prepares adults to be received in to full communion with the Catholic Church through the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist--the Sacraments of Initiation. The process includes prayer, study, and catechesis (formal instruction). This process invites:

Adults who are not baptized and are seeking formal entry into the Catholic Church, adults who may have been baptized in another Christian tradition and desire to be received into full communion with the Catholic Church.

Adults baptized in the Catholic Church but have not been associated with the church since that time and desire to receive the other Sacraments of initiation (Holy Eucharist and Confirmation) and wish to become full members of the Catholic Church.

The RCIA program runs from Sept. through Easter. Classess are held every Tuesday at 7:00 pm. For more information, call the Religious Education office at 734-847-1725.
