The Process of Becoming Catholic
The first and most important thing is prayer. Pray that the Lord may lead you in your journey of faith and for the Holy Spirit lead you to the fullness of the truth.
For adults, the usual way to become a member of the Catholic Church is through the Rite Of Christian Initiation Of Adults (RCIA). The RCIA is a gradual process of education and formation. Whether unbaptized or baptized in another Christian denomination, the RCIA program helps adults to grow in their relationship with God.
Sessions focus both on teachings and practices of the Catholic faith, as well as, the value and application of faith in our daily lives. The process of becoming a Catholic is a four step journey. This journey will take you through the various phases of discerning your call to become a Catholic and living the faith. Each person desiring to become Catholic is accompanied by a sponsor. The sponsor may be chosen by the individual or provided by the parish. The sponsors offer support and guidance throughout the RCIA process and are encouraged to attend the weekly sessions.
