The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the process through which interested adults and older children are gradually introduced to the Roman Catholic faith and way of life.  Children who were not baptized as infants are also initiated through an adapted process of this rite.

For those who join our RCIA process, it is a period of reflection, prayer, instruction, discernment, and formation.  Our sessions begin in the fall and we welcome participants into full communion at the Easter Vigil.
