RCIA - For Adults - Program Introduction
This introduction will provide you with some of the basics about RCIA, so you’ll have some understanding about what the process entails and who it’s for.
Welcome to the Catholic Online School RCIA program! Our video-based program is meticulously and prayerfully designed to comprehensively and systematically catechize catechumens to receive the sacraments of initiation.
It’s also designed to prepare candidates already baptized for entry into full communion with the Church. Our program not only helps to facilitate conversion and growth in intimacy with Christ, it provides a complete means of educating people in the belief and teaching of the Church.
Perhaps your unfamiliar with what an RCIA program is? In this introduction, we’ll give you some of the basics, so you’ll have some understanding about what the process entails and who it’s for.
Earning a certificate of completion in this online course is not a substitute for completing a parish-based RCIA program. The Sacraments of Initiation can only be conferred by a bishop or priest. This certificate means you have successfully completed a course of study that is intended to supplement your parish RCIA program.
