What Is RCIA?

RCIA stands for the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults

The RCIA in its purest form is for those adults who have not yet been baptized - however in reality those that are converting from other Christian religions often go through the RCIA as well.  The RCIA is a process by which adults are introduced to the life of the Catholic Church through catechesis and liturgy.  When an adult becomes Catholic they receive all 3 sacraments of initiation at the same time - Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation.
