RCIA: Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the rite through which adults are received into the Catholic Church.
The RCIA programme is an exploration of faith. It is a time for those who are wishing to be received into the Catholic faith to come and explore the faith in a friendly and informal atmosphere, with the catechists and Fr. Kevin.
We welcome those who have never been baptised and those who have been baptised into another part of the Christian faith. The meetings begin in November each year and are weekly, with candidates who wish and desire to be received into full communion with the Catholic Church at the Easter Vigil.
