    Frequently Asked Question

    What if I’m considering becoming a Catholic?

    If you want to become Catholic, you will participate in a process called the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (sometimes called RCIA or simply Christian initiation). In RCIA, you will learn about the teachings of Jesus as the Catholic Church has taught them faithfully since the time of the apostles. You will learn how to live the faith so as to be more and more transformed into the image and likeness of Jesus Christ.

    What does initiation into the Catholic Church entail? 

    If you have not been baptized, the Christian initiation process prepares you to become a Catholic Christian by celebrating what we call the sacraments of Christian initiation: Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist (Holy Communion).

    If you have been baptized in another Christian tradition, the initiation process prepares you to enter into full communion with the Catholic Church by celebrating the sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist (Holy Communion).

    What if I change my mind? 

    You do not make any commitment or obligation by inquiring about Catholicism or beginning the Christian initiation process. We want you to take the time you need as you think about becoming Catholic and we respect your decision to stop or to say, “not right now” at any time. You always have the free choice to go where your discernment leads you.
