Becoming Catholic

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults

The process of conversion occurs when one seeks a greater relationship with Jesus Christ through his Church. Adults who desire to become full members of the Catholic Faith are encouraged to inquire about the Church and the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA).

The RCIA enables participants to journey through various stages of spiritual formation, study, and prayer, over the course of a few months.

Generally, converts are initiated at Easter, when the Sacraments of baptism, eucharist, and confirmation are celebrated.

If you, or someone you know, is drawn to the Catholic Faith, and have discerned the call of God in your life, please call Ms. Margaret Trepal, Pastoral Associate at St. Mary Nativity.
