Rite of Christian Initiation (RCIA)

Each year on Holy Saturday during the Easter Vigil,  thousands are baptized into the Catholic Church in the United States. Parishes welcome these new Catholics through the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. Visit the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) website for more information about the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. 

Please contact your local parish for more information regarding formation programs. If you need to find a parish, you can search the Archdiocese of Hartford website.
