Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is the process by which adults enter the Catholic Church. It is a process consisting of several stages. The inquiry stage is a period in which interested persons meet once a week in a group setting with the pastor or facilitator and the RCIA team. Presentations are given and discussion is invited concerning aspects of Catholicism which a non-Catholic might first notice or become curious about. The inquiry state is a period of several months, lasting usually from September to December. The entire process is lengthly, but allows time to discern wheter the choice of entering the Catholic Church is right for the individual.
