Baptized Christians Wanting to Become Catholic

The Church does not want to place unnecessary obstacles or burdens in the path to become Catholic but wishes to deepen your faith and offer you thorough understanding and appreciation for Catholic beliefs and practices. The catechesis and the formation in preparation for your being received into the Catholic Church will depend on your background and what you might need to live a full and active Catholic life.

Although Christians hold many fundamental beliefs in common, many Catholic doctrines and traditions are not shared by all. The fuller your exposure to Catholicism, the more fruitful will be your experience of Catholic life. Much that is part of a typical RCIA parish process could be applicable and valuable for those who are preparing for reception into full communion with the Catholic Church. In particular, a shared catechesis and spiritual formation may be offered to candidates who are preparing for a profession of faith in the Catholic Church.
