This information is for you, if:

• You were baptized but did not receive First Communion and/or Confirmation
• You were baptized in another Christian Church
• You were never baptized

We welcome you into the Catholic Church through a process of education, faith sharing, and rituals known as the Rite of Chrisitan Initiation of Adults (RCIA)  The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) describes the RCIA as a process in which participants "undergo . . . conversion as they study the Gospel, profess faith in Jesus and the Catholic Church, and receive the sacraments .

The RCIA is structured over a series of ceremonial steps and periods of learning, and the timing of these may vary for each individual. One may take as much time as he or she needs in the initiation process before becoming ready for full initiation through the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and the Eucharist.  Initiation within the Church is a journey of conversion that is gradual and ongoing and suited to individual needs. It is a process rather than an educational program and this process takes place within the community of the faithful, the local Church.
