Thinking About

Joining the

Catholic Church?

Every year in the Archdiocese of Detroit,

hundreds of people join the Catholic Church. Since becoming Catholic requires a commitment to God, the Church and a worshipping commu-nity, the person must enter a pro-cess of preparation and discern-ment. This process is called the RCIA, an acronym for Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults.

In the RCIA a person takes a journey with the RCIA Team to learn about and come closer to God. Part of learning about God means that you need to learn about God’s Church. In the RCIA we learn about how the Church was formed, and many of the particulars that are unique to Catholicism.

While learning about Catholicism is essential to the RCIA, it is only part of the process. The most im-portant part of the RCIA is discover-ing, developing, and nurturing your relationship with God. If you feel in your heart that God is calling you, the parish community of St. Pio of Pietrelcina welcomes you!

The RCIA process is open to people who are not baptized, baptized in another Christian faith, or baptized a Catholic but who have never received the Sacraments of Eucharist or Confirmation.

If you or anyone you know is interested in the RCIA process, and would like to know more please contact Ellen Olivier at 586-218-9211.
