Are you interested in becoming a Catholic?
Adults who are interested in learning about the Catholic faith participate in the OCIA/Order of Christian Initiation of Adults. Those who have never been baptized participate for approximately one year and celebrate the various rites (RCIA/Rites of Christian Initiation of Adults). Those who have been baptized in a Christian denomination (other than Catholic) participate in the OCIA also. The duration of their participation depends on their previous formation.
