Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults

Rite of  Christian Initiation of  Adults  (RCIA) is a process by which non-baptized individuals become Roman Catholics.  The process at Saint Andrew begins when you make contact with us of your desire.  We have a conversation with you about your faith journey and what brought you to this point where you wish to become Catholic.  You are then assigned a mentor who will journey with you along the path to becoming Catholic. 

We welcome adults and family members (over 7 years of age) to begin the process anytime.  We welcome you into the process on a year-round basis.
 
Those who are non-Christian will have instruction leading to their reception of the Sacraments of Initiation on Saturday evening before Easter Sunday when you would be formally welcomed into the Catholic Church as you are Baptized, Confirmed, and receive Eucharist for the first time.
