At St. Kevin’s Parish
Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults
The RCIA, which stands for Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, is a process through which non-baptized men and women enter the Catholic Church. It includes several stages marked by study, prayer and rites at Mass.
RCIA is a spiritual process for anyone who is inquiring about the Catholic Faith, and also for Catholics who are already baptised, but who, for some reason, were never instructed in the faith or celebrated the Sacraments of Confirmation and/or Holy Eucharist.
The three goals of RCIA are:
- To instruct participants about the Catholic Church
- To bring about a full conversion as a follower of Jesus Christ
- To become an active member of the faith community
If you are interested in being initiated into the Roman Catholic Church, please contact the Parish Priest to enquire about an RCIA programme.
