The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a process designed for three different groups of people:
- adults who are not baptised and would like to join the Catholic Church
- adults who were baptised as children into the Catholic faith, but who have not completed their initiation into the Church because they have not celebrated either or both their First Holy Communion or Sacrament of Confirmation, and
- adults who have been validly baptised in another Christian denomination and who now want to be received in the Catholic Church.
The Catholic Church welcomes people of all faiths and backgrounds into the RCIA process.
For more information regarding the RCIA program at St Patrick’s Basilica, please contact the Parish Office.
