How do I become a Catholic?

The Catholic Church warmly welcomes new members and tries to provide an appropriate spiritual formation according to each person's needs. Most members of the Roman Catholic Church are baptized as infants. Others, who were previously baptized in other Christian traditions become Catholics after making a solemn profession of faith, receiving confirmation and sharing Eucharist with the Catholic community. Still others, who were not previously baptized become Catholic Christians through a process called Christian Initiation, which includes the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist, and usually takes place at the Easter Vigil. The Church wants to share its life with new members and offer them support and encouragement through the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA).
