The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the process by which interested adults become full, active, participating members of the Catholic Church. These adults may be: - those who have never been baptized - those who have been baptized in another Christian tradition - those who have been baptized Catholic, but have had little no formation in the faith. The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults helps adults to grow in their relationship with God, become familiar with Catholic teachings and practices, get acquainted with people in the parish, and become involved in service within the parish or the wider community.
