The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) adapted for older Children and Youth, second grade through high school, is for those interested in becoming Catholic. It is also for baptized Catholics who are beyond grade six who have only been baptized and wish to celebrate First Reconciliation, Confirmation, and First Eucharist.
For the unbaptized the length of time is approximately one year and the Easter Vigil is generally the time for their Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist.

Those baptized in another Christian denomination can be received into full communion with the Catholic Church at any time of the year.

The baptized Catholics may choose to celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation and Eucharist when either the Archbishop or his delegate comes to the parish for Confirmation.

The catechetical sessions are on Sunday mornings. The parents of these young people are closely involved in the process and in discerning their child's readiness for the sacraments.

For more information and to initiate this process, call Loretta at 303.420.1280.
