Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults - RCIA
The RCIA ministry assists in the discernment process of those adults who are considering becoming fully-initiated members of the Catholic Church. It seeks to inform participants of the teachings of the Catholic Church while fostering their formation in the faith. This is available to those who are not Christian and wish to learn about the Church, to those Christians who want to become Catholic, to those Catholic adults who have yet to receive their First Communion or Confirmation, and to those fully-initiated Catholic adults who wish to serve as sponsors for the candidates and catechumens.
