Why should I become Catholic?
God, our Creator, desires so deeply to be in relationship with us. During His life on earth, Jesus established His church in it's fullness as a means to dispense His grace into us. This is the Catholic church.
"The Church alone, being the Bride of Christ and having all things in common with her Divine Spouse, is the depository of truth." -Pope St. Pius X -
What is RCIA?
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a process in which adults prepare to enter into full communion with the Catholic Church. The RCIA process is intended for individuals who are unbaptized, or Christian individuals seeking to become Catholic through Confirmation.

What does the process look like?
RCIA introduces and explains the teachings, beliefs, and practices of Catholic faith and prepares individuals to become Catholic through prayer, discernment, and formation. Those inquiring full communion with the Catholic Chruch attend weekly classes that prepare them to receive the Sacraments of Initiation. -
