RCIA stands for
Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults
RCIA is the process through which adults learn about the Catholic Faith and enter the Catholic Church
Entry occurs annually at the Easter Vigil (Saturday evening celebration before Easter Sunday.
RCIA is designed for three groups:
  • Those who have never been baptized
  • Those who have been baptized in a non-Catholic Christian faith
  • Baptized Catholics who have never been taught or practiced their Catholic Faith
Phases in the RCIA and approximate time are:
  • Inquiry - from a few weeks to a year or more (no commitment - up to the individual)
  • Catechesis - (learning) from a few months to a year
  • Elect - six weeks prior to Easter
    Neophyte - seven weeks following Easter
Inquiry classes - these classes are available year round and may be entered at any time by those interested.  Please call Tippy McIver, 831-6608, for additional information.
Definitions:
  • Inquirer - someone that is interested in learning more about the Catholic Church and is attending the inquiry classes.
  • Catechumen - an up-baptized person in the catechesis phase who wishes to become a Catholic.
  • Candidate - a baptized Christian in the catechesis phase who wishes to become a Catholic.
  • Elect - those in the final six weeks of preparation prior to the Easter celebration who will enter the Catholic Church at the Easter Vigil.
  • Neophyte - those who entered the Catholic church at the Easter Vigil are are completing the final classes in their journey.
