RCIA (the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults)


RCIA (the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) is a process to introduce the teachings of Jesus Christ in the Catholic Church to individuals who wish to learn more, including the opportunity, if they wish, to become Catholic through the Sacraments of Initiation. In addition, many Catholics attend the programme to learn more about their faith and have found the course to be both interesting and informative. RCIA is a time of learning to come to know, love and develop a deeper relationship with God.

We are currently looking for new members to assist in this year’s programme. You do not need any particular skills or training as there are opportunities to get involved in different ways at different levels. If you would be interested, would like more information or perhaps you have even attended the course before, please feel free to contact RCIA by telephone or text at 07761014607 or email rcia@downandconnor.org .
