The Catholic Church has a series of steps in place for someone to become Catholic. These steps exist to help the individual be very sure about the decision they’re making through a number of informative sessions about what the Church believes and why.
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a journey of faith for persons who are not baptized, who are baptized in another Christian tradition and desire to become Catholic, and baptized Catholics in need of First Communion and/or Confirmation.
You do not make any commitment or obligation by inquiring about Catholicism or beginning the Christian initiation process. We want you to take the time you need as you think about becoming Catholic and we respect your decision to stop or to say, "not right now" at any time. While we love being Catholic and hope that others will want to become Catholic also, we do not exert pressure on anyone to do so. Our hope would be that at the very least, you would come to a greater appreciation of Catholic beliefs and practices.
RCIA sessions for the East End Duluth Catholic Churches are held at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Rosary Wednesday evenings, beginning in the Fall. If you are interested in learning more please fill out the form below.
