The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)
Picture

​
​The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA), is a process developed by the Catholic Church for prospective converts to Catholicism who are above the age of infant baptism. Candidates are gradually introduced to aspects of Catholic beliefs and practices.
The R.C.I.A team of St. Catherine’s is looking for adults who seek to join the Catholic Church. This would be a weekly commitment.
Please call Fr. Rymdeika at 215-672-2881 or email pastor@stcatherineschurch.org if you are interested.
