ADULT SACRAMENTS
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, is the Church's process of welcoming newcomers into full communion with the Catholic Church. The RCIA program is open to all adults, even those who just want to learn more. It is a time of reflection, prayer, instruction, discernment, and formation. Those who enter the process are expected to attend Holy Mass each Sunday, attend weekly class, and become more involved in the activities of their local parish. Definitely, participate in Mass by standing, kneeling, saying the prayers, except don’t receive Communion until you’ve received Confirmation or formally been welcomed as a Catholic at the Easter Vigil.
RCIA is for those persons who have never been baptized and seek to join the community of believers. These men and women are called "Catechumens." RCIA is for those who have been baptized in another Christian faith, but are seeking to join the Catholic Church. These men and women are called "Candidates."
RCIA is for those who have been baptized in the Catholic faith but who have never been fully initiated, through the Sacraments of Eucharist/Confirmation. These are also called "Candidates." Others who participate in RCIA are: Catholic adults who serve as sponsors for the catechumens and candidates. These people have a very important role in helping to nurture and introduce the catechumens and candidates to the Church community by providing support, example and prayer.
