Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)
RCIA is a process (often called a “journey of faith”) aimed at welcoming others into our Catholic family through reflection on the experiences of their lives, the messages of Sacred Scripture, and the teachings and doctrines of the Catholic Church. RCIA is a program of the Catholic Church oriented towards those who are searching and inquiring about the Catholic way of life. It is also a process structured around movements of inquiry, sessions, discernment, prayer commitment and finally the Celebration of the Sacraments of Initiation, Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist.

The office of Adult Formation’s mission is aimed at helping adults to grow in Christian maturity and inspiring their lives with living the Gospel. Therefore, the goal is to embrace faith dimensions of life—like, understanding and communicating the faith, personal growth, family life, relationships, and concern for social welfare.
St. Gregory’s Adult Faith Formation process offer a comprehensive and systematic presentation and exploration of the Catholic faith and practice—a complete initiation into a Catholic way of life, helping to form a Christian conscience and to live as faithful disciples of Jesus.
WHO IS RCIA FOR?
• Adults never baptized who desire to join the Catholic Church.
• Adults baptized in another Christian church who desire to join in membership in the Catholic Church.
• Adults baptized in the Catholic Church who have not completed their full initiation into the church through the Sacraments of Eucharist and Confirmation.
Catholicism is a way of life and becoming Catholic is a journey in faith. RCIA is a process, rooted in Church history designed to educate in the Catholic faith and prepare adults to receive the sacraments of the Church.
Becoming Catholic involves entering into a relationship with Jesus Christ. Your RCIA journey will be a unique time for you. You will no doubt notice how your own life experiences and beliefs have brought you to this point as you listen to God’s invitation to explore the Catholic faith.
Please keep safe and pray for God's saving grace.
