HOW TO BECOME A CATHOLIC

The first thing you do:
*Contact a Catholic parish near you to let them know that you are interested in finding out more about the Catholic Faith.  Find a Catholic parish here anywhere in the world!.  Learn about the Christian Faith through the Alpha Course.   Find an Alpha Course here anywhere in the world! 

If you are interested in reading about Catholicism, there are a number of excellent resources available.  For a compendium of Catholic beliefs, you can explore the Catechism of the Catholic Church by ordering it from this website.

God calls all individuals to live the Gospel. If you are an adult and want to become Catholic, you will participate in a process called the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA).  For children it is called the Rite of Christian Initiation of Children (RCIC). Adults or children who have reached the age of reason (about 7 years old), learn about the teachings of the Catholic Church.  The RCIA prepares you to become a Catholic in what we call the sacraments.  Remember, you will not be alone, you will be going through this process with other like-minded individuals.  You can learn more about the RCIA or the RCIC programs by calling any Roman Catholic Church.

The RCIA process typically lasts for several months. Candidates generally meet once or twice each week, however, each parish schedule varies.

You will not be pressured into this process as you should enter into it freely.

Remember until you are a member of the Catholic Church, you are not allowed to receive the Eucharist, however you can attend Mass.
