RCIA—RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITATION OF ADULTS This is a process, which provides preparation for adults who seek full initiation into the Catholic Church through the reception of the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist. This process is also adapted for older children who seek full initiation into the Church and is sometimes referred to as The Rite of Christian Initiation of Children (RCIC).
The RCIA process also provides for: A) The preparation of baptized Catholics who wish to complete their initiation into the Church through the reception of the Sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist. B) The preparation of validly baptized Christians from other traditions, who wish to be brought into Full Communion in the Catholic Church.
