Any adult who wishes to be initiated into the Catholic Church through a journey of faith, formation and sacramental preparation is warmly invited to join our RCIA programme.
What is RCIA?
RCIA, the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, is the way the Church welcomes adults into the Catholic faith. It is a journey rather than a course: a time of learning, prayer and taking part in parish life, leading to the Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Confirmation and the Eucharist.
Who is it for?
- Adults who have never been baptised
- Adults baptised in another Christian tradition who would like to be received into full communion with the Catholic Church
Not sure whether RCIA is right for you? Please get in touch and we will gladly talk it through.
2026–27 programme
The first session and introduction will be held on Tuesday 27 October 2026 at 7.30pm at St Clare’s Church.
