The RCIA stands for the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. Please contact the office on 9809 3536 to register your interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RCIA in its purest form is for those adults who have not yet been baptised-however in reality those that are converting from other Christian religions often go through the RCIA as well- and certain provisions need to be made for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The RCIA is a process by which adults are introduced to the life of the Catholic Church through catechesis and liturgy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When an adult becomes Catholic they receive all 3 sacraments of initiation at the same time-Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vatican II said that RCIA should be the proper way of initiating adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
