Becoming Catholic | RCIA


​The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (and adapted for children) is the process in which the Catholic Church welcomes people into the Church. RCIA is much more than a program, it is a process in which conversion of the heart brings one to Jesus Christ through learning, discussion, prayer and community.

Participants in RCIA are invited to grow more deeply in their faith and discern if joining the Catholic Church or completing one's initiation into the Church is what they desire. No matter where you are in your faith and spiritual journey, our RCIA program at St. John's meets you there and helps lead you toward new life.


How do you begin? All you have to do is ask...
It may seem a bit overwhelming at first, but don’t be discouraged. Keep in mind this Bible verse which epitomizes truth and love: “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life.” John 3:16

Contact us today to learn more and begin your journey toward becoming Catholic!
