Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)

“My heart is restless until it rests in You…”

St Augustine

Adults who are interested in learning more about the Catholic Tradition with a view to future membership are invited to join the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) process.

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a program for non-Catholics who are interested in (or even just thinking about) joining the Catholic Church. It is also appropriate for teenagers and adults who have been baptised but have not completed their Sacraments. RCIA provides an understanding of the Christian faith as it is lived and celebrated in the Catholic tradition.

Meetings are relaxed, informal, and offer an opportunity to share thoughts, questions, and aspirations with others interested in learning more about the Catholic Faith.

Enquiries are welcome at any time and the enquirer will be linked with members of the RCIA Team and supported through the more structured meetings.
The process culminates in the reception of the Sacraments of Initiation by those who are ready at the Easter Vigil Mass.

Enquirers are encouraged to come and meet with others on a similar journey – to talk, to listen, and to discern together. There is no obligation or pressure.

Further information and initial enquiries may be made to the Sacramental Co-ordinator who can connect you with the RCIA Coordinator.

When possible, a separate process is organised for teenagers so that they may discuss topics of interest in the company of their peers.
