The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults or RCIA is designed for adults and children who have reached the age of reason (around age seven), who are unbaptized or baptized in another Christian faith tradition, and seek to embrace the Catholic faith participate in an initiation process. Both adults and children are fully initiated into the Catholic Church during this process, celebrating Baptism, if needed, Confirmation, and First Eucharist.Unbaptized children who have reached the age of reason (age 7 and older) follow the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. The preparation process is adapted according to the developmental level of the child. The initiation process reaches its culmination with the celebration of all three sacraments of initiation: Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist.
