Are You Interested in Becoming a Catholic?

How does a person become a Catholic?

Stirred by the Spirit, adults seek meaning in their lives. The Catholic Church welcomes those who are searching through the catechumenate (RCIA) process. Based within a parish community the RCIA process is adapted to the spiritual needs and life journey of adults.

It is the process by which unbaptised adults and children over seven years of age are welcomed into the active community of believers in the Catholic Church.

The RCIA is also the accepted form of preparation for adults already baptised who seek full communion with the Catholic Church.

What is the first step?

Anyone seriously thinking about joining the Catholic Church or simply seeking answers to questions is welcome to approach their nearest parish.
