The Sacraments of Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation are known as the Sacraments of Initiation.  A Catholic is not fully initiated into the life of the Catholic Church until he or she has received all three. The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the process of spiritual and educational formation by which adults become full members of the Catholic Church.  The RCIA welcomes both people who have never been baptized and people who were baptized in another Christian tradition and now wish to become Catholic.  There is the expectation that candidates will attend Mass each Sunday as well as the formation sessions which are generally offered evenings. Anyone interested in learning more about the possibility of joining the Catholic Church is invited to contact Monsignor Sullivan.
