RCIA is a process designed for individuals who are considering joining the Catholic Church. Adults who have not been baptized and those who have been baptized in other Christian denominations are invited to explore the Catholic faith through a process of study, reflection, worship, and service. The Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist) are usually celebrated at the Easter Vigil. Volunteers are needed as sponsors to share their faith and to accompany the Candidates and Catechumens on their journey of faith.

Would you like to find out more about becoming a Catholic and the process involved?  Would you like to talk with someone as you discern this decision? 

During the summer, the Cathedral holds one-hour-long inquiry sessions for those wanting more information about the Catholic Christian faith.  Dates are posted on this web site and in the church bulletin.   Reservations are not required, all are welcome.

Candidates and Catechumens

A Candidate is one who has been baptized in another denomination and is preparing for Reception into Full Communion with the Catholic Church.

A Catechumen is one who has never been baptized and is preparing for full initiation through the celebration of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist.
