Becoming Catholic: Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults
-
-
RCIA & Adult ConfirmationThe sacraments of Christian initiation - Baptism, Confirmation, and the Eucharist - lay the foundations of every Christian life. “The sharing in the divine nature given to men through the grace of Christ bears a certain likeness to the origin, development, and nourishing of natural life. The faithful are born anew by Baptism, strengthened by the sacrament of Confirmation, and receive in the Eucharist the food of eternal life. By means of these sacraments of Christian initiation, they thus receive in increasing measure the treasures of the divine life and advance toward the perfection of charity.” (CCC1212)

Whether you are just beginning to explore the Catholic faith, have been attending Mass with family or friends, or feel ready to take the next step, you are warmly invited to begin the conversation.
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a journey of faith, learning, prayer, and discernment for adults who are interested in becoming Catholic. Through this process, participants learn about Catholic beliefs and traditions, grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ, and become more fully connected with the parish community.
RCIA may be right for you if:
- You have never been baptized and are interested in becoming Catholic.
- You were baptized in another Christian tradition and are considering entering the Catholic Church.
- You were baptized Catholic but have not yet received First Communion or Confirmation.
- You are a Catholic adult seeking Confirmation.
- You simply have questions and would like to learn more.
Each person’s journey is unique. You do not need to have everything figured out before contacting us, and submitting an inquiry does not commit you to becoming Catholic. Our parish team will be happy to listen, answer your questions, and help you discern your next step.
