Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults and Children (RCIA)
Picture
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults and Children is a journey during which persons, who are unbaptised (Catechumens), or who have been baptised in another mainstream Christian Church (Candidates), come to embrace the Catholic Faith, and are initiated into the Catholic Church community. 

For adults, initiation into the way of the Gospel and the Church via Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharistic Communion usually occurs at the Vigil Mass of Easter, but can occur at other times – especially for those already Baptised within another mainline Christian Church. However, the journey towards Initiation occurs over a much longer period of time than for children, marked by several distinct steps and ceremonies. The steps or stages are found in the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA).
