Becoming Catholic: Rite of Christian Initiation

Are you interested in becoming Catholic?

Were you baptized Catholic but did not yet receive
the Sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist?

St. Bartholomew RCIA welcomes you!
 

RCIA, the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults, is a guided instruction in the teachings of the Catholic Church, the Bible, and Sacramental Life. The RCIA process prepares unbaptized adults to receive the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist, and Baptized adults to complete the sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist. It involves an extended period of evangelization (developing a relationship with Jesus Christ), catechesis (instruction in the faith), and spiritual formation (deepening faith) in the Roman Catholic Church.

Explore What's Right for You!
Not sure if you want to become Catholic? Not a problem! In fact, we're assuming this is the case. The initial sessions are designed to answer some fundamental questions and give you a feel for what the process will entail. After the first few classes, we'll explore the core Christian message while beginning to answer your questions.

We Would Love to Meet You!
