A Journey into the Catholic Faith

The RCIA is the Church’s official process for welcoming adults into the Catholic faith. Its origins go back to the early Church, when new believers were guided through a period of learning and formation before being fully received into the Christian community.

Today, this journey continues through the RCIA programme — a structured and supportive way to explore Catholic teaching, spirituality, and life.

Who is it for?

This course is open to:

• Those considering becoming Catholic (whether baptised in another Christian tradition or not)

• Anyone who wishes to deepen their understanding of the Catholic faith

No prior knowledge is needed — just a heart open to learning and growing.

How is it delivered?

• One evening session per week

• Online via Zoom or Skype

• Spread over several months

• For those who feel ready, it may culminate in being received into the Church during the Easter Vigil

What topics are covered?

Drawing on Scripture, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and other trusted sources, sessions include:

• The Old and New Testaments

• The Trinity

• The life of Jesus and the role of Mary

• Sin, Forgiveness, and Grace

• The Sacraments (Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Marriage)

• Death and Resurrection

• Teachings and traditions of the Church

Would you like to support the journey of others?

We warmly welcome:

• Sponsors to accompany and support individuals through their journey

• Prayer partners, including the housebound, who can spiritually support candidates from home
