RCIA: The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults
The RCIA is for adults who wish to become full members of the Catholic Church.
Non-Christians who wish to be Catholic are prepared for Baptism, for Confirmation, and to receive the Eucharist.
Non-Catholic Christians, who have already been Baptized, who wish to become Catholic, are prepared for Confirmation and to receive the Eucharist.
Adult Catholics who have been Baptized but have not yet been Confirmed, and/or have yet to receive First Communion are welcome as well.
The Sacraments are traditionally celebrated for the RCIA at the Solemn Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday.
RCIC: The Rite of Christian Initiation for Children
Please note that we currently do not have a formal framework for the RCIC at this time.
If you have children between the ages of 7 and 17 (inclusive) that you wish to have prepared for Baptism, before receiving the Eucharist (or celebrating Confirmation), please speak to one of our priests after Sunday Mass to see what we can do to journey with you.
