Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)
Scripture
Go, therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Teach them to carry out everything I have commanded you. And know that I am with you always, until the end of the world.
National Catechetical Directory
Full initiation into the Church occurs by stages. The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults
(Roman rite) provides a norm for catechetical as well as liturgical practice in this regard. The
intimate relationship of the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation (Chrismation) and Eucharist
should be emphasized in the catechesis of both adults and children. Such catechesis will
involve many members of the parish community who support and pray with the catechized,
besides instructing them so that they may grow in understanding of the Christian message.
The sacraments Baptism, Confirmation and the Most Holy Eucharist are so interrelated that
they are required for full Christian initiation
