RCIA

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

- Jeremiah 29:11

What is RCIA (Right of Christian Initiation for Adults)?

The RCIA is commonly referred to as a "process" rather than a program as our individual journey of faith is just that...a journey.  RCIA at SMU involves prayer, instruction, discernment, conversion, and ultimately, a decision on the part of the individual to seek membership in the Catholic Church.  If you are interested in becoming Catholic or simply have questions about the Catholic faith, please contact Christina Bax at 214-987-0044 or cbax@smu.edu. Also, any of SMU Catholic's staff would love to talk with you on this important part of your spiritual journey!




Who needs RCIA?

• Those who are interested in learning more about the Catholic faith.
• Those who are seeking Baptism in the Catholic Church.
• Those who are baptized in a Christian tradition and wish to become Catholic.
• Catholics who are baptized and wish to complete the Sacraments of Initiation (First Eucharist and/or Confirmation). 

RCIA for the 2020-2021 school year will kick off on September 13, 2020. Please fill out the interest form below if interested!
