RCIA (Rite of Christian Initation of Adults) is a process of formation for adults seeking full initiation into the Catholic Church. It is open to all those who wish to convert to the Catholic faith. It is also open to those who were baptized Catholic, but never received the sacraments of first Holy Communion and/or Confirmation. The process includes periods of instruction, Scripture study, prayer, and reflection on Christian life. Those who are interested normally meet with a priest once a week, from September until Easter. They then receive the Sacraments of Initiation at the Easter Vigil Mass. There is also a similar program for children. Anyone who is thinking about becoming a Catholic should contact Fr. Zach at zgaliyas@diopitt.org or 724-695-7325.
