RCIA: Rite Of Christian Initiation for Adults

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is an extended period of formation and conversion through prayer and reflection on the Gospels by which a person is initiated into the Catholic faith and receives the sacraments of initiation: Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist.  

It is also a communal journey in which the church community ritually celebrates the candidate’s conversion along the way. RCIA is for unbaptized adults, unbaptized children of catechetical age, and baptized adults seeking Confirmation and Eucharist.

Participants usually meet on Tuesday evenings at 7:00 pm beginning in September through the Easter season.  

Please contact the Coordinator of Religious Education for more information at 757-365-0579.
