R.C.I.A. (The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) is actually a revival of an older practice whereby people joined the Church. It is designed to educate converts in the Catholic faith and prepare them to receive the sacraments of the Church.

The process attracts non-Catholics who are about to marry Catholics, people who were baptized in the Church at birth but never confirmed and others who have just decided that the Church best fits their beliefs.
