R.C.I.A.
Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults
c/- Presbytery Office: (02) 6583 1024
Those interested in becoming Catholics whose ages range from 14 to 80 years are accompanied on their journey not only by their immediate guides – catechists, sponsors, priests and the R.C.I.A. team – but by the whole parish community. The program usually commences around July/August with inquiry nights and culminates at the Easter vigil ceremony the following year.
