The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is a restoration of the ancient practice of initiation into the church : a process of discerning and ritualizing stages of conversion leading to sacramental initiation. It is our way of responding to people who come to us with their questions-What is the Catholic faith? What do you believe? What do you do? Why do you do it? It is the parish community through its witness, worship, service and catechesis that offers the invitation and support necessary for men and women to be initiated into the church.
