RCIA is the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. It the process by which adults enter full communion with our Church, through the sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist (Communion). RCIA can help you along your faith journey if:
- You want to join the Church, and have never been baptized.
- You have been baptized in another Christian faith tradition, but want to join the Catholic Church.
- You have been baptized in the Catholic Church, but never had your First Communion or Confirmation.
If you think RCIA might be for you, contact either parish office by phone, or email rcia@sjspwellesley.org. We’d love to hear from you!
