    The RCIA is a process of conversion, marked off in stages highlighted by ritual celebrations, and culminating with the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation).

    It involves a catechesis focused on the Gospel, inviting a deeper involvement in the Catholic Christian Community and commitment to the mission of Jesus Christ in our world.
