The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is the rite through which adults are received into the Catholic Church. This web page will allow you to access resources that will be helpful in your understanding of RCIA, both catechetically and liturgically. It provides guidance for catechists and sponsors, the Diocesan RCIA handbook, various journal articles on the RCIA as well as links to other useful websites.
