Roman Catholic AnswerRCIA is the common acronym for Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults. It is a nearly year long process which starts out in the late summer or fall for inquirers, people who are interested in finding out about the faith. If they decide that they are seriously interested and want to become Catholic they are taken into the Church as catechumens around Advent, and then are baptised and/or confirmed at the Easter Vigil. The program ends, usually, a month after the Easter Vigil.

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.
