The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is the process used to become a member of the Catholic Church.  The Rite was published in 1973 in Rome in response to the Second Vatican Council.  Candidates learn to believe, to pray and to serve the Catholic community over a period of time.

The four stages of the Rite are:

1. The Period of Inquiry or the Pre-Catechumenate
2. The Period of the Catechumenate
3. The Period of Enlightenment or Purification
4. The Period of Post Baptismal Catechesis, the Mystagogia.

This process begins in September and runs weekly, culminating in the Easter Vigil.  Team members help those wishing to become Catholic to grow in knowledge and experience of the Catholic faith through teaching and sharing their journey of faith.
