Becoming Catholic
RCIA - is a course for those thinking about becoming Catholic. This course is for adults who are seeking to know more about the Catholic faith and the process involved in becoming a
full member of the Catholic Church, this is known as the Rite of Christian Intiation of Adults.
This course usually begins in Term 4 of the school term year and has a December holiday break then recommences at the start of the following year. Initiation takes place at the Easter Vigil Mass, where you will receive the sacraments of initiation: Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist.
There are several stages for people following the RCIA programme:
Inquiry: The initial period of finding out about the process of becoming catholic, asking questions.
Catechumenate: Those who decide to enter the church. A time for developing your faith and being "catechised" - learning the basic points about Catholic faith and life.
Purification and preparation: The church helps you to focus and intesify your faith as you prepare to commit your life to Christ and be received into the Church at Easter.
Initiation: The culmination of the whole process! Received into the church during Easter
Mystagogy: After reception into the church at Easter, there is a period of time that allows you to reflect and learn more about the mysteries of the Mass and the Sacraments.
For further information please telephone the Parish Office on (07) 575-4807
