OVERVIEW

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a process instituted by the Roman Catholic Church to help those who have never been baptized, or for Christian's baptized in other faith traditions to become disciples of Jesus Christ in the Catholic Church.  

The goal the RCIA is to help adults (and children) to grow in their relationship with God, become familiar with the Catholic teachings and practices, get acquainted with people in the parish, and involved in service in the local and wider community.
