RCIA – Becoming Catholic

Picture
RCIA—The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults—is a process developed by the Catholic Church for prospective converts to Catholicism who are above the age of infant baptism. Candidates are gradually introduced to aspects of Catholic beliefs and practices.

Who should consider RCIA? The process of Christian initiation is for adults who are:
  • Interested in learning more about the Catholic Church, are unbaptized, seeking Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist or searching for spirituality in your life.
  • Baptized, but are now looking to join the Catholic Church or have never received any formal religious education or completed the sacraments of Initiation: Confirmation and Eucharist.
  • Married to a Catholic and you attend Mass with them, and you want to share in their faith.
  • Seeking something in your life, but are not sure what it is.

If you answered YES to any of these questions, we invite you to consider joining the RCIA program here at St. Padre Pio Parish.​​​​​​​
