What is RCIA?

Catholicism is a way of life and becoming Catholic is a journey in faith.  RCIA is a method, rooted in history, designed to educate in the Catholic faith and prepare adults to receive the Sacraments of the Church.  It seeks, however, to do more than simply give interested persons information.  Becoming Catholic involves entering into relationship with a community of God’s people. Our hope is that you will enjoy a deeper relationship with God as you also become acquainted with St. John the Baptist parishioners and the Church throughout the world.

Your RCIA journey will be a unique time for you. You will no doubt notice how your own life experiences and beliefs have brought you to this point as you listen to God’s invitation to explore the Catholic faith. At the same time, members of the parish are praying for you, attending sessions with you, and sharing their own life stories as Catholics.

WHO IS RCIA FOR?
  • Adults never baptized who might desire to become a Catholic.
  • Children 7 years of age and older, never baptized, who are looking to become Catholic. 
  • Adults baptized in another Christian tradition who might desire to become a Catholic.
  • Adults baptized Catholic who have not received full initiation through the Sacraments of Eucharist or Confirmation.​
