The R.C.I.A is made up of three teams of parishioners who give witness to their faith through ongoing meetings and liturgical celebrations with adults seeking full initiation (non-baptized persons) or adults seeking full communion with the Catholic Church (Christians baptized in some other faith, tradition or baptized Catholic with no further instruction in the faith).

Each team is trained to work with the catechumens and candidates through various stages of the initiation process:  Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist.  Once trained, each team meets weekly with the candidates during their particular stage of the process.
