The "Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults" (or "RCIA") and the "Rite Of Christian Initiation Adapted for Children" (or RCIC) is the process through which men and women are invited and welcomed into the Catholic Church. People become Catholic for various reasons. Perhaps you have fallen in love with a Catholic, or maybe you are raising your children Catholic and their questions have stirred a longing in your own heart.  Perhaps you have simply joined us a few times for Sunday worship and found a comfortable home. Whatever the reason, you are welcome! Every decision to follow Jesus, however, starts with an authentic encounter with the Lord and His invitation to follow him.
