The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the process by which unbaptized persons and those who were baptized in another Christian denomination are prepared to become full members of the Church. It is a spiritual journey founded on the four pillars of formation: intellectual, spiritual, pastoral, and human.Â
