The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults

    The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)

    The RCIA or Ordo Initiationis Christianae Adultorum is a process developed by the Catholic Church for prospective converts to the Catholic faith who are above the age for infant and children baptism. The basic process applies to adults and children who have reached catechetical age. This rite is given to Christian adults who, after hearing the mystery of Christ proclaimed, consciously and freely seek the living God and enter the way of faith and conversion as the Holy Spirit opens their hearts. The rite is not just receiving the sacrament of baptism, confirmation and Holy Communion, but also all the rites belonging to the catechumenate. It is an annual programme. There is always an announcement in the Church to let the faithful know when it will commence. Classes in the Parish hold on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 5.00pm prompt.
