Adult Faith Formation

The Adult Faith Formation programs at Christ the King - St. Stephen provide opportunities for you to grow deeper in your faith and build a community of peers.

Welcome to the faith

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)

Are you or anyone you know, curious about the process of becoming Catholic? During the Rite of Christian Initiation (RCIA), adults learn about the teaching and traditions of the Catholic Faith. It typically takes 9-12 months, and you will receive the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist at Easter.

No qualifications are necessary, and any adult can participate even if they have:

  • never been baptized
  • have been baptized in another Christian denomination but want to become Catholic 
  • baptized Catholics who never received the Sacrament of Confirmation


The RCIA process is adaptable depending on each individual’s needs.

Meeting: Wednesdays

Time & Location: 6:45 - 8:45pm in the Fr. Brian Joyce room
