Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a program established for non-Catholics who are interested in learning about the Catholic faith and who would like to enter into full communion with the Catholic Church. Catholics who would like to come to learn or refresh their own faith formation are also welcome to attend. This eight-month program addresses the fundamental teachings of the Church and culminates during the Easter season for those who wish to join the Catholic Church either by baptism or by Profession of Faith for those who are already validly baptized.
