The majority of Catholics are baptised into membership of the Church as a baby or child and grow up in an environment where the Church is a meaningful part of their lives.

Some people are moved by the Holy Spirit to consciously and freely seek baptism later in their life journey.

In the first hundred years after Christ, growth of the Church came very largely through the baptism of adults. In recent years, the Church has returned to many of these first-century ceremonies for welcoming adults who seek baptism into the life of Christ.

This journey of faith, with reflection, discovery and accompanying ceremonies, have been brought together in a programme the Church calls ‘The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults’ or ‘RCIA’.
