BECOMING CATHOLICRITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF ADULTS (RCIA)The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the process for adults who desire to join the Catholic faith and for those seeking more information on the Catholic Church.

Who is RCIA for?
- Non-Catholics who want to find out more about the Catholic Faith
- Those who want to join the Catholic Church through Baptism, or Profession of Faith
- Those who were baptized Catholic as infants but never received religious education, Confirmation, or First Eucharist.

Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age."Matthew 28:18-20
