How do I join the Catholic Church or get confirmed in the Catholic faith?
CM offers the “Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) “:/sacraments/sacramental-preparation-at-nd/becoming-catholic-rcia each academic year. RCIA is for those who have never been baptized or who have been baptized in another Christian denomination and seek full membership (Full Communion) with the Catholic Church. We also offer a Confirmation Program for baptized Catholics seeking to complete their initiation into the Catholic Church through the Sacrament of Confirmation. Sessions for both RCIA and the Confirmation Program begin in September, and the sign-up cut-off for both is Fall Break.
