Become a Catholic at HOLY TRINITY

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults or RCIA

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is a process in which the Church welcomes adults seeking any of the following sacraments of full communion in the Catholic faith: Baptism, Eucharist or Confirmation.

RCIA is a process of discernment and instruction in which the person seeking initiation into the Church is introduced to the beliefs and practices of the Catholic faith. RCIA instruction is for non-baptized persons, persons baptized in another Christian faith and baptized Catholics who lack both the sacraments of Eucharist and Confirmation.   The meetings are every Wednesday 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm in the parish office building.

RCIA- Adapted for Children is for children 7 years of age or older who:

• have not been baptized, OR
• were baptized as infants but never catechized, OR
• were validly baptized, but into a non-Catholic faith community.   

The Rite of Christian of Initiation of Children is a spiritual journey of conversion in which children become full members of the Catholic Church. It follows the stages of RCIA, but in a manner adapted for the understanding and maturation of children ages 7 -17 years.
