Right of Christian Initiation For Adults (RCIA)

Who Is This For?

This is a programme of instruction in the faith for adults:

• Have you been worshiping with us, but never officially took the step to become Catholic?
• Have you been away from the Church…and have now returned, but want to know more?
• Have you been Catholic all your life, but never celebrated all the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Eucharist & Confirmation)?
• Have you joined us from a different faith background and would like to find out more about the Catholic Church?
• Do you know of anyone who has lapsed from the practice of their faith and would like to respond to an invitation to return to the Father’s House?

If any of these questions apply to you, the RCIA programme is a great way to help you on your journey of faith!

Times

The programme is every Tuesday, 7:30 - 9:00 pm at Holy Redeemer.

The programme runs from July and ends three weeks after the Easter vigil. RCIA runs during usual school holidays, June, September, but we do take a break during the December/January holidays.

We also have a retreat weekend midway through the programme.

Those wishing to attend should also set aside the times of the services during Holy Week and in particular the Triduum services of Holy Thursday, Good Friday and The Easter Vigil on Easter Saturday. The Easter Vigil service is where the elect are received fully into the Catholic Church (where applicable Baptism, Confirmation and/or Eucharist).
