The letters "RCIA" stand for the "Rite Of Christian Initiation Of Adults", the document flowing from Vatican II which guides the process by which adults are initiated into our roman catholic community. The RCIA describes a process in which men and women are guided and cared for as they awaken in faith and are gradually introduced to the catholic way of life. The RCIA process is a series of carefully planned stages, marked by liturgical rites in the presence of the whole community, in which new Catholics embark on and join us in a continuing and deepening conversion into faith and discipleship. The RCIA takes the distinctive history and spiritual needs of each person into account, differentiating between the baptized and the un-baptized, the catechized and the un-catechized. The needs of mature, practicing Christians from other faith traditions are considered on an individual basis.

           “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations … teaching them to observe all that I have commanded You. And behold I am with you always, until the end of the age.”   (Matthew 28:19-20).
