RCIA

RCIA, (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) also known as the Catechumenate, is a restored Rite within the Roman Catholic Church. Rituals mark and acknowledge the process of ongoing deepening of faith within a person as well as providing an opportunity for adults to ‘come and see’ what Catholic Christians believe and strive to live. The atmosphere of the weekly meetings honour adult learning needs and includes content, discussion and encourages questions from those inquiring.

The process is facilitated by parishioners desiring to share their faith with those inquiring into the Catholic Christian tradition, in a very casual, welcoming environment, in which the needs of each person are considered and respected. RCIA also serves as a vehicle for those who wish to become fully initiated members of the Roman Catholic Church.

For Whom?

  • Adults who want to ask questions about the Catholic Christian Church.
  • Adults who are thinking about joining the Catholic Christian Church.
  • Those already baptized in a Christian Church, who may be considering being received into full communion in the Catholic Christian Church.
  • Baptized Catholics who have not yet been Confirmed.
  • Adults who want a better understanding of the faith of their spouse.
  • Parents who are not Catholic but whose children attend a Catholic school.
