What is the RCIA?
The Rite of Catholic Initiation of Adults (R.C.I.A.) is a process for preparing and welcoming new members into the Catholic Church. The process culminates at the Easter when the candidates receive the Sacraments of Baptism, Eucharist, Confirmation and Reconciliation.
To whom does the RCIA cater for?
How is it done?
Faith development and growth is achieved through a well-structured series of presentations, sharing and reflection. Led by a team of catechists, the sessions cover all foundation topics of our faith. The faith formation sessions commences in late July each year and concludes in May the following year, at Pentecost. There are no meeting during the school holidays.
