7 Becoming Catholic What is RCIA? The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a program open to anyone interested in becoming Catholic through Baptism, Holy Eucharist and Confirmation. RCIA is a process of conversion that begins with a period of inquiry and concludes with full initiation into the Church. RCIA is a call to a deeper walk with Jesus, a walk that will continue for the rest of your life as you grow in love for Jesus and a desire to be His witness in your world. For more information contact: MARY GULDE, Steward for Adult Spirituality; MaryG@StMaryMagdalen.org Who can participate?
