RCIA PROGRAM
The RCIA is a process for adults, ages 18 and older, who have not been baptized and want to join the Catholic Church. They will receive the Sacraments of Initiation, which are Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist at the Easter Vigil if they are considered prepared.
RCIA is a process meant to form adults seeking baptism into the fullness of the Christian life and to become disciples of Jesus, their teacher. This includes an initiation into the mystery of salvation, the practice of faith, hope, and love, and other virtues in a succession of liturgical rites. Persons baptized into another Christian church and now seeking full communion with the Catholic Church are also welcome to participate in the RCIA process of learning about the Catholic faith and being formed in that faith. For a baptized Christian, reception into full communion with the Catholic Church involves reception of the Sacrament of Reconciliation and then a Profession of Faith followed by the celebration of Confirmation and the Eucharist.
Each student will need to choose a sponsor, who will support them along their Catholic journey. The sponsor must be a baptized and confirmed Catholic, who is at least 16 year of age and is in good standing with the Catholic Church.
