Immaculate Conception Catholic Church welcomes all those interested in becoming Catholic or just have questions about Catholic teachings.
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is the process of introducing Catholic beliefs and practices to adults and children who desire to join the Church or complete their Christian initiation into the Church.
The RCIA is for three groups:
The RCIA sessions primarily provide a journey of faith that takes interested persons, ". . . from the awareness of a stirring of faith and curiosity within one's heart through . . ."
. . . to a life of faith, love, and justice lived in communion with Catholics throughout the world."
Any adult, 18 years of age and older, who is either unbaptized or a baptized Christian of another faith, is invited to participate in the RCIA process. Children ages 8 and above are also invited to participate in a modified, age-appropriate version of the RCIA process.
What if I’m married civilly, divorced, or divorced and remarried?
If you were married in a civil ceremony or if you are divorced and remarried, your circumstances should be addressed before beginning RCIA. Please visit with Fr. Juan Carlos so that we can address them right away.
What documents are required for becoming Catholic?
Baptized Christians will need only a copy of their baptismal record.
What if I have young children who need Baptism or First Communion?
Youths between 8 and 13 years old may attend RCIA that has been adapted for their circumstances. Parents are encouraged to join them on a separate night. Children under the age of 8 may participate in our Religious Education programs.
