The Catholic Church is not just one denomination among many. In fact, it can trace its founding roots back to Jesus Christ, who started our Church. For 2,000 years, the Catholic Church has guarded the truth that Jesus has taught, whether in or out of style. In the Church today, one can experience the most personal relationship with Christ through the Holy Eucharist, the gift of Christ’s Body and Blood to us. Since its founding, the Catholic Church has continued to be the largest body of Christians on earth. Though it’s not perfect, nor does it have perfect members, the Church still contains the fullness of truth, which Jesus promised would set us free.

RCIA is a process (often called a "journey of faith") aimed at welcoming others into our Catholic family through reflection on the experiences of their lives, the messages of Sacred Scripture, and the teachings and doctrines of the Catholic Church. RCIA is oriented towards those who are searching and inquiring about the Catholic way of life. It is also a process structured around movements of inquiry sessions, discernment, prayer commitment and finally the Celebration of the Sacraments of Initiation, Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist.
Maybe you have been away from the Church for a little while or for quite some time, but now you feel a tug at your heart calling you back to the Catholic Church. Listen to that tug. It’s your Heavenly Father reaching his arms out to you, the Holy Spirit whispering in your ear, hoping to draw you home.
We hope you accept this as your invitation to rediscover the truth, wonder and mystery of the Catholic faith. As your brothers and sisters in our worldwide Catholic family, we want you back. We’ve missed you, and our Church is not the same without you.
