The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is the process by which the Church prepares adults to be fully initiated in the Catholic faith. This includes those who are converting to Catholicism, as well as for those who have not received all three sacraments of initiation: Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation. Anyone wishing to know more about Catholicism is most welcome. Sessions are held in the Penn Newman Center.
