The seven sacraments of the Roman Catholic Church can be grouped in three categories: Sacraments of Initiation, Sacraments of Healing, and Sacraments of Vocation.

For adults, it is normative for these sacraments to be celebrated all at once at the Easter Vigil. The preparation and celebration of these sacraments is known as the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)

This rite, is a process whereby adults who are not baptized (or who have been baptized into another Christian faith tradition) are initiated into the Roman Catholic tradition, receiving Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation in our greatest celebration of the year, the Easter Vigil. The candidates meet weekly for exploration of their faith journey in light of the scriptures and open themselves to our rich tradition. The RCIA team and sponsors work closely with the candidates to support them in their journey.
