The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults is a process that proceeds over weeks and months. It has four Periods:
The Pre-Catechumenate, or period of inquiry, welcomes newcomers to ask questions and share their stories as they begin to learn more about the Catholic Faith and the process of becoming Catholic.
The longest part of the process, the Catechumenate is a time of learning and formation in the traditions and doctrine of the Catholic Church. This is a time for reading scripture, studying Church customs, traditions and doctrine as well as growing as part of the parish community. As well as attending formal RCIA sessions together on Sunday mornings, participants will also attend Mass afterwards, being dismissed after the homily to reflect more on the Word of God.
This part of the journey begins with the season of Lent and is a period of continued instruction with more intense prayer. This begins the final preparation of the participants to receive the Sacraments of Initiation at the Easter Vigil Mass.
