RCIA – Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is the way in which adults become full, active and participating members of the Catholic Church, including:

• the rite of Baptism of adults
• the reception of baptized adults into full communion in the Catholic Church

The initiation is a gradual process which takes place within the community of the faithful that progresses from inquiry, to a formal period of learning about and preparing to join the Church, to the rites of initiation or reception, and continued support and membership thereafter.

Would you like to journey deeper into fellowship?

A Discipleship Quad may be perfect for you!

This is a group of four people to gather every other week, in person or through technology, to foster fellowship, ongoing conversation, and learning.  Your group will grow through prayer, authentic relationships, and a deeper understanding of Christ and his church. All of the members of the quad are of the same sex to create an atmosphere of intimacy and vulnerability for sharing.

Who is a Discipleship Quad For?

Are you interested in growing in your faith as a Catholic? Consider joining! Each quad can be made up of people at any level of spiritual maturity: from long-time, committed Catholics to those who are just beginning their spiritual journey with Jesus.

What are the Benefits?

The benefit is knowing the love of Jesus Christ and deepening your relationship with him and his Church. As a member of a Discipleship Quad, you will learn with and from others, pray for and with one another, and share life with those who will become good friends in an otherwise incredibly busy and complicated world.
