The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the way for unbaptized persons and those who have been baptized in another Christian tradition to become a Catholic, through a process of discerning and ritualizing the stages of gradual conversion. The rite of Christian initiation is designed for adults
who, after hearing the mystery of Christ proclaimed, consciously and freely seek the living God and enter the way of faith and conversion as the Holy Spirit opens their hearts. By God’s help they will be strengthened spiritually during their preparation and at the proper time will receive the sacraments fruitfully.
If interested in becoming a Catholic, or needing to receive the Sacraments of Holy Eucharist and Confirmation, please call the Pastorate Officeat 410-633-2828.
