Becoming a Catholic

If you have never been baptised or were baptised into a non-Catholic Church and now wish to become full members of the Catholic Church we have a programme called Becoming a Catholic – otherwise known as the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA). If you are an adult Catholic who has never confirmed or a lapsed Catholic, then this programme is also for you too. You can find out more about RCIA here.
