RCIA & RCIT

I am a teenager or adult interested in getting baptized or becoming Catholic.

What is RCIA? 

RCIA stands for the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. It's the process of inquiry for those interested in learning about the Catholic faith and/or formally seeking to become members of the Catholic Church.

What is the commitment for RCIA?

At Holy Name, participants generally meet once a week from September to May with gradual introduction to Mass on Sundays as well.  Depending on their readiness, individuals will have the opportunity to become members of the Catholic Church at Easter.

One makes no commitment by attending a session – you are most welcome to come and "check us out"! We hope you will enjoy exploring the Catholic faith in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, and give us a chance to serve you wherever you are at.

What can I expect when I attend a session?

Sessions involve dynamic presentations on the teachings of the faith, a period for questions and discussion, and an introduction to prayer. 

Ready to join RCIA?

To join RCIA or express your interest, please fill out this RCIA Inquiry Form.
