RCIA - St. Luke the Evangelist Catholic Church

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a year-round process of evangelization and catechesis that seeks to help those interested in joining the Roman Catholic Faith. The Rite includes the preparation for and the celebration of the sacraments of baptism, confirmation, and Eucharist.

Catechists provide instruction to RCIA candidates. Approximately 4-6 hours per month is required in combined preparation and meeting time.

RCIA sponsors are adults who serve as mentors to the RCIA candidate. Sponsors must agree to walk with their candidate for at least one full year, attending weekly sessions with the candidate. Approximately 2-3 hours per week is required in combined preparation and meeting time.
