What should I do to become a Catholic?
Call the Director of Religious Education or the Pastor at your local Catholic church and inquire about entering the RCIA process.
What is the purpose of RCIA?
The RCIA program is the process by which people join the Catholic Church as adults. As children, Catholics go through the traditional Confirmation process. However, education for adults should be structured differently. The basic topics of faith are the same, but the adult process is a little more "mature" in the information covered. Going through RCIA is not a decision, but a process. The depth of the course will vary slightly from church to church, but the process itself is a personal journey that each person should take.
What does RCIA stand for?
Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults. Its the process by which adults are baptized.
Does anyone have to sponsor you to attend RCIA?
A sponsor for RCIA should be a practicing member of the Catholic Church who is at least 16 years of age. You need a sponsor for RCIA, and you can always go to the Church you wish to become part of to ask for help finding a sponsor if you do not have one and have nobody in mind. You can begin the process without one. :)
What does RCIA stand for Who Is the coordinator of RCIA?
RCIA stands for the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, which is a program in the Catholic Church designed for individuals seeking to become members of the faith. The coordinator of RCIA is typically a trained parishioner or staff member who oversees the program, facilitating the catechetical sessions and guiding candidates through the initiation process. This role involves providing support, education, and spiritual formation to those preparing for baptism and full communion with the Church.
When did RCIA start?
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) was formally established by the Catholic Church in the 1970s, following the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965). The council aimed to renew the Church's approach to evangelization and catechesis, leading to the development of a more structured process for initiating adult converts into the faith. The RCIA process incorporates elements of scripture, tradition, and liturgy to guide individuals toward baptism and full membership in the Church.

Adults IN the RCIA program are limited. If they are not baptized yet, they will be just prior to being Confirmed as part of the RCIA process. Otherwise, the Sacraments, such as the Eucharist, are done after completing RCIA.Roman Catholic AnswerAdults in the RCIA program, if they are already baptized before starting the program, only receive the Sacrament of Penance(Confession) during the program. At the end of it they receive baptism, if they are not already baptized, confirmed, if they had not been confirmed in the Catholic Church previously, and then given Holy Communion.
What is RCIA process?
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a process through which individuals are welcomed into the Catholic Church. It involves a series of stages that include inquiry, catechesis, and sacraments of initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist). Participants engage in spiritual formation, learn about Catholic teachings, and prepare to fully integrate into the church community. The process typically culminates during the Easter Vigil, when candidates receive the sacraments.
Baptised as a catholic and received first communion but was never confirmed do I have to take the RCIA classes?
Based on my knowledge of RCIA, I believe that confirmation candidates also go through the process. However, the process is certainly not as involved as receiving all four sacraments (Baptism, First Communion, Reconciliation, and Confirmation). The best answer really is: talk to a clergy member or Catechist in your parish office.
Is there an RCIA group in your parish?

Do you have to belong to a church to choose a godparent?
Well I am Catholic, and in my religion I did not choose my own godparents if that is what you mean, as most people are baptized shortly after birth. As for the RCIA program, I honestly do not have a definitive answer. I have attended church services in which RCIA graduates were welcomed into the faith and they had no mention of godparents.
