The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)  

introduces and invites people into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.  
Catchumens (unbaptized) and candidates (baptized in another denomination) meet regularly with their sponsors and team members to discuss the tenets of Catholicism, our beliefs and practices.    

The Sacraments of Initiation; Baptism, Confirmation & Eucharist can be celebrated as individuals are ready to receive, usually at the Easter Vigil.
