The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA)
For many people interested in getting baptised as a Catholic or entering into full communion with the Catholic Church through Confirmation (already baptised in another Christian denomination), the process can be somewhat confusing or intimidating. After all, this is a major step in one’s life. The decision to join the Church is exciting and will lead to a deepening of personal faith and relationship to God, others, and self. No matter what has brought you here, the fact that you are interested in taking the next step shows your openness to God and God’s call in your life. Many people have come through the RCIA program and are living lives of service, faith, and love. Perhaps you are asking where to begin the journey. The answer is that you have already begun! Your next step is to talk with our RCIA Coordinator, Trina, to discuss details for your paticular journey. A great and recommend place to begin your journey is the Alpha Course. This is a safe and friendly environment to explore the Christian faith, ask questions and meet others. Contact Trina for additional information or questions, trinat@avcatholic.org
