The Rite of Christian
Initiation of Adults (RCIA)
- Are
you interested in learning about the Catholic Church?
- Are
you from another faith tradition and feel drawn to the Catholic way
of life?
- Are
you unbaptized, and recognize the need for spirituality in your
life?
- Are
you married to a Catholic and attend mass, but you just don't know
how to move toward becoming one of the Catholic faithful?
-
Were you baptized Catholic, but never received any formal religious
education?
- Or
a practicing Catholic who was never confirmed?

Christian Initiation of Children (RCIC)
For children above the age of 8 who are “converting” to Catholicism;
who
need baptism, first reconciliation and/or first communion,
there is a two year process.
-
First year - Children are enrolled in
religious education
according to their regular grade level.
-
Second year - Children, together with their parents
participate in a quarterly Sunday morning session for Christian
Initiation.* This is for immediate preparation for the sacraments;
children should also be attending their regular grade level
religious education.
