RCIA

~ The Rite Of Christian Initiation Of Adults ~

The Rite Of Christian Initiation Of Adults is a process for preparing and welcoming new members into the Catholic Church. In practice, it is a process of enquiry and gradual introduction to the story of Jesus Christ and the community of His followers.

The RCIA program can be useful to anyone who is seeking a spiritual path, a way to God. It may lead the enquirer into a deeper relationship with God, into a conversion of faith and possibly to baptism and commitment in faith to the Catholic Church.

The Catholic Parishes of Goodwood, Kingswood and Colonel Light Gardens are three separate parishes who are joined together in a cluster with a single Ministry Team led by one Parish Priest. The RCIA program has a coordinating group with members from each Parish. One of these people will be your first person to talk with you about your enquiry.

 

If you wish to be involved in this process, as a participant or as part of the Ministry team, or you know someone who is interested in becoming a Catholic, please contact the parish secretary of one of the cluster parishes (details on the home page of this web-site).

 

Prayer For The RCIA

Lord, you have loved us into life and we thank you.

Guide us to see clearly whatever you are calling us to be in life.

Help us as a Parish to make a special effort to work and pray together for the people in

our RCIA programme and to give them unfailing support wherever possible.

May we be open to the Spirit in our lives and so be willing to share our faith with others in all ways possible.

AMEN
