RCIA: The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults

“Do not be afraid; I have called you by name and you are mine.”

–Isaiah 43:1

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the process that the Church uses to welcome adults into the Catholic Church. Men and women from our parish community gather in the Fall on Tuesday Evenings for Inquiry and from September to May for in-depth study of the faith for those approaching the reception of the Sacraments.  Anyone interested in inquiring about our Church, our teachings and traditions is welcome. These sessions are a very comfortable way to become informed about Catholicism whether you are already a Catholic or not.

If you are a baptized Catholic adult who is in need preparation for celebrating the sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist or if you are a non-Catholic interested in becoming part of the Catholic faith community, we invite you to join us. We also extend a welcome to anyone who has already received their Sacraments and desires more information/discussion about their faith.   Coming to one session and just listening is always an option.

We welcome parishioners who would like to be more involved with the RCIA team or who would like to sponsor a catechumen and/or candidate in the process.   

Please call the parish and speak with Father Brian or Jonathan Camiolo at (973) 539-4955.
