Did you know?

– The R.C.I.A. process traces its roots back to the early days of Christianity when many new Christians were baptized as adults.

– The process consists of four stages:

  • First is a time of Inquiry or Pre-Catechumenate.
  • Second is the period of the Catechumenate.
  • Third is the period of Purification and Enlightenment.
  • Fourth is a period of follow-up formation called Mystagogy.

– Not everyone who attends R.C.I.A. will need to go through all stages.
