RCIA stands for Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. It is a process that assists people who desire to be fully initiated members of the Catholic Church. The process, often times referred to as a journey, is designed to meet people where they are at in their faith life, and bring them into a closer relationship with Jesus Christ.

The RCIA journey climaxes at the Easter Vigil, the Saturday evening before Easter Sunday. At the Easter Vigil, those on the journey are brought into full communion with the Roman Catholic Church through the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist.

Along the road of the RCIA journey, those participating are introduced to the Catholic faith through teaching, scripture study, prayer and worship. Participants also build relationships with people in the faith community.
