Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) and RCIA Adapted for Children Overview

How Does One Become Catholic?

God moves in our hearts in a variety of ways, and brings many people to a desire to learn more about the Catholic Church and its lived faith and practices.  This desire will lead many of you to enter into the process known as Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA).  This journey will take place with others who share similar stirrings of the Spirit, and will be lead by Catholics who are grounded and knowledgeable about their faith and who are called by God to share this with you and walk with you on this journey of inquiry.   Some of you will respond to an even deeper desire to become full and active participants, members of the Catholic Church and your journey will continue to include the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist. For these people, the sacraments of initiation usually takes place at Easter or at a time that the readiness of these people is determined.  The church encourages an ongoing conversion with Jesus Christ and the reign of God He proclaimed. The church wants to share its life with new members and offer them support and encouragement.
