RCIA
RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF ADULTS
… Jesus
spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will
never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.” John 8:12
RCIA is the process by which adults formally join the Catholic Church. If you are:
Not baptized, but recognize a need for spirituality in your life
Baptized into another Christian denomination, but wish to join the Catholic Church
Married to a Catholic and attend Mass but want to take the next step to become a Catholic
Baptized Catholic, but never received the Sacrament of Confirmation
Interested in learning more about the Catholic Church
The RCIA Team, the candidates and their sponsors meet over several months in preparation of the conversion to Catholicism. Preparation classes commence on July/August 2026 (please refer bulletin for start date) at 7.00pm culminating at the Easter Vigil. The gatherings are marked by sharing, listening, learning, teaching and answering questions etc. Enriched with faith, hope and love and to know of the Almighty’s promise to us we will journey this together.
