Rite of Christian Initiation

The Church welcomes all people who genuinely search for God. ‘stirrings of the heart’, leading them to go to a local parish to make enquiries. The RCIA is a process for preparing adults for Baptism, Confirmation and the Eucharist (Holy Communion). The Program is for:

• Adults who are unbaptised 
• Adults who are already baptised in another Christian Church 
• Non-practising Catholics who wish to renew their faith


The Rite of Initiation is likened to a spiritual journey that takes place within the parish community. It involves a series of sessions with members of the faithful, to pray together, to learn about the life of Jesus through the Gospels, and discuss what His message means for us in everyday life. Another important aspect of the sessions is to enlighten, inform and discuss Catholic beliefs and practices.
 

Many parishes have an RCIA program for adults seeking to become Catholics. A starting point is ringing our office and talking to our parish priest and/or the parish leaders. To speak to someone at our office and to learn more, please contact: Janet Greene on 0410 144 448
