What is RCIA?
RCIA is the programme the Catholic Church uses to help people find out more about the Church and discover what it means to be a Catholic. It can lead to becoming a full member of the Church. RCIA in our parish runs from September to the following May.
RCIA stands for Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults and is often also called Journey in Faith. It is indeed a journey - it is a gradual process that takes place within the parish community and is for those who wish to be baptised, or those who are already baptised in another Christian tradition and now wish to become Catholic and receive the Sacraments of Confirmation and Holy Eucharist. You may be married to a Catholic and attend Mass and wish to know more, or you may have questions about the Catholic faith you would like to discuss, you may be a Catholic but not yet received the sacrament of Confirmation. If so, RCIA could be for you.
