What is RCIA?
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a programme to welcome and assist adults who want to discover more about God and Christianity, and to prepare for baptism into the Catholic Faith. The choice to become a Catholic rests between you and God.
How does it work?
It is a journey made in the company of facilitators, sponsors and priests with the support of the church community. It facilitates faith discovery through teaching, sharing, prayers, communal worship, fellowship and other forms of experiential exercises.
How long is the journey?
We meet 2 hours each Tuesday and the whole programme lasts approximately 11 months, with Baptism at Easter Vigil.
Are there any conditions to meet? Is there any course fee?
No, just come as you are. It is Free of Charge.
Who can participate?
There are generally 3 categories of people that participate in RCIA:
- All individuals who are not baptised and who express a desire to explore the Catholic faith,
- Individuals who have been baptised in another Christian denomination and who wish to explore membership into the Catholic Church, and
- Catholics who have been baptised but who have not received the Sacraments of Confirmation and/or Holy Eucharist.
Am I obligated to become a Catholic if I go through the RCIA process?
There is no obligation for participants to become members of the Catholic Church. Anyone seeking information about the Catholic faith is welcome to attend our sessions.
