Want to learn more about the Catholic Church and are considering becoming a Catholic? The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) is a process of doctrinal, practical and liturgical formation for those desiring to become Catholic and celebrate the Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation. |
