How do I get into the RCIA program?

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 (RCIA). Prior to beginning the RCIA process, an individual comes to some knowledge of Jesus Christ, considers his or her relationship with Jesus Christ and is usually attracted in some way to the Catholic Church.

If you would like to begin your RCIA journey or for more information, please contact our Director of Faith Formation, 352-567-2894 Ext 226, Email [email protected].
