Right of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)

The RCIA is a process designed for adults attracted by Christ and his teachings. It supports them as they seek to respond more deeply and to enter into the Communion of the Church. For those who join the RCIA process it is a period of reflection, prayer, instruction, discernment and
formation.

What is involved?

There is no set timetable and those who join the process are encouraged to go at their own pace, taking as much time as they need. Although the average process generally takes between 8 to 12 months, During the programme they will be prepared to be baptised, confirmed
and receive Holy Communion for the first time at Easter.

Those who enter the process attend Mass on a Sunday, attend RCIA sessions and become increasingly involved in the activities of their local church.
