The RCIA is a process by which people who want to become full members of the Roman Catholic Church are admitted by going through a time adult Catechism classes and Scripture study.  The process helps them to
develop, deepen and enrich their relationship with our loving God in Christ Jesus through the Holy Spirit.  They are on a journey of faith to receive the Sacraments of Initiation - Baptism, Communion and Confirmation.

The RCIA Process begins in early September and finishes six weeks after Easter Sunday.
