The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the process of discerning and the ritualizing stages of gradual conversion. Initiation of adults belongs to all the baptized. This spiritual journey is about a relationship over time with both God and the Catholic community. It is the Church's method of a faith journey of conversion.The journey has no time frame. Conversion occurs on God's time; not our time. The RCIA conversion process consists of four periods. The amount of time spent in each phase is dependent on individual needs and feelings.
