Rite of Christian Initiation 

of Adults

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a formation process for adults and children (RCIC) over the age of 7 who desire to learn about the Catholic faith and who are considering joining the Catholic Church.  This year we will resume in person meetings.

• Those who have never been baptized.
• Those baptized in another Christian faith tradition who may be interested in becoming a Catholic.
• Catholics who were baptized but have not celebrated all of their Sacraments.
• Anyone who wants to learn more about the Catholic faith. Perhaps you are engaged or married to a Catholic and want to know more about your partner's religion. Maybe your children are being raised as Catholics and you want to better understand the faith tradition they are learning. Or, perhaps you have attended church with a Catholic friend and would like to know more.

Note: The Process for the new year ( 2021-22 ) starts on Sunday September 12, 2021. Please contact Justin Frato to schedule a time for an interview and fill out the appropriate Inquirer Form under "Documents" in the left-hand sidebar.
