Rite of Christian Initiation (RCIA )

Through the Rite of Christian Initiation, non-Catholics interested in joining the Catholic Church receive a structured opportunity to immerse themselves in the Catholic faith, reflect on their commitment to Catholic values, traditions and practices and prepare to become full members of our faith. This intense journey includes eight months of prayer and reflection, independent study and time spent learning from a parish mentor. The program culminates when the participant is welcomed into the Catholic faith through the reception of the Sacraments during the Easter Vigil liturgy.
