Thinking of joining the Roman Catholic Church? The Catholic RCIA stages are a good model of basic faith development. This article provides some detailed guidance for that process.

So, you’re developing your faith. Great! Is it a little overwhelming?

  • Where to start?

  • Why so many “stages” of initiation?

  • What should I be doing in each stage?

  • How will I know when I’m ready to move forward?

This article is your best starting point to answer these questions, and more. I’ll provide you with some fundamentals – centered in Christ – for beginning and developing your life of faith in the Roman Catholic Church.

Everything else builds on these fundamentals!

But…

Where do you begin?

Ideas to build community (Even during a pandemic.)

  • Begin an Ananias ministry in your parish.

  • Create a private Facebook page, website link or other for the parish community to post prayers, thoughts and support              as the candidates.

  • Ask community to send cards and/or prayers to the candidates. (Similar to palancas forCursillo)

  •  Suggest members of community send in printed photos of themselves, their families to tape on pews to show their support and thought
