RCIA Coordinator: Mr. Michael Garibaldi

The RCIC process adopts an initiation model to prepare children of catechetical age to be initiated into the Catholic Church. The process involves the entire family and culminates with the celebration of the Sacraments of Initiation at the Easter Vigil.

The Process…
Similar to the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults, the RCIC model mirror the catechumenate process in that it will consist of five important stages.

The Inquiry

  • 1. The Catechumenate—Teaching of the Catholic Faith
  • 2. Prayer
  • 3. The Easter Vigil
  • 4. Post-Easter Sessions-Mystagogia

*Please see the RCIA page for a more detailed explanation of each of these stages.
