“The
Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is designed for adults who, after hearing
the mystery of Christ proclaimed, consciously and freely seek the living God and
enter the way of faith and conversion as the Holy Spirit opens their hearts.
By God’s help they will be strengthened spiritually during their
preparation and at the proper time will receive the sacraments fruitfully.”

The
Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is primarily
a journey of faith:
From
the awareness of stirring of faith and curiosity
within one’s heart…
· through
all the stages of asking and seeking,
· through
beginning involvement with Christian/Catholic Community,
· through
hearing the Gospel proclaimed and by faithful reflection and prayer of this Word
of God,
· through
study and discussion about the Catholic experience,
· through
doubts and hesitations,
· through
involvement in the works of charity and justice with those already committed to
the Catholic way of life,
· through
discernment of God’s call for them as individuals,
· through
the steps of commitment through the sacraments of initiation (Baptism,
Confirmation, and Eucharist)
...to
a life of faith, love, and justice lived in
communion with Catholics throughout the world.

are very grateful to St. Patrick’s RCIA program.
The conversion process was wonderful.

community members. Our Catholic

and guidance.”

“Come
to me, all you who labor and are overburdened, and I will give you rest.
Shoulder my yoke and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart,
and you will find rest for your souls.”
