Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) Program

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) has a long history in the Catholic Church. It is a structured program that prepares candidates to be received into the Catholic Church and thereafter live as faithful followers of Jesus Christ.

Sydney Catholic Schools has a diverse and growing mixture of students and parents from non-Catholic religious backgrounds. There is also a significant number of students from Catholic families entering our primary and secondary schools, who have yet to receive baptism or other sacraments of initiation. Hence, a need for an adapted parish-school RCIA program to address these needs.
