Church Life: R.C.I.A. (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults)

Interested in finding out about becoming a Catholic?

If you’re not baptised or confirmed or are a member of another Christian denomination - then the RCIA would be able to help. R.C.I.A (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) is a process for welcoming new members into the Roman Catholic Church.

The Church is growing in Guildford! In April this year seventeen adults were either baptised, confirmed and/or received into full membership of the Church – plus nine of their children.

The RCIA starts meeting in September and if you would like to be part of that process or know of someone who may be interested in becoming a member of our Church, then please do get in touch with your local parish office.

Those who seek to join the Catholic Church become members of the Catechumenate: an ongoing process that meets people where they are on their faith journey and gently initiates them into the life of the parish and the Catholic Church.

Weekly Meetings take place over two terms to share and learn about Catholic Christianity. Some liturgical celebrations at Sunday Masses take place to mark stages in the candidates faith journey
