First and foremost, in whatever capacity you serve, thank you for your time and talents you give to the Church. As part of the RCIA team at your parish, you are one of the most notable first impressions inquirers will receive of the Catholic Faith.
RCIA Coordinators & Catechists
The Rite of Christian Initiation serves as the fundamental pathway for both Catechumens and Candidates to enter into the fullness of communion with the Church. This unity is rightfully made manifest through the common profession of faith and in the communal reception of the Holy Eucharist by the faithful. Formation of those who are seeking to become Catholic rightfully takes on a two-fold, Christ-centered character, passing on both the teachings of Christ and inviting all into an ever-deepening unity with Christ himself, who is present in the Eucharist. (Catechesi Tradendae 5-6) Therefore, in that same spirit, RCIA offers instruction focused on both Catechetical and Liturgical components.
