The Rite of Christian Initiation for Children is adapted from the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults. It is meant for children ages 7 through 17 who have not been baptized and are seeking initiation into the Catholic Church. After receiving the sacraments, all children continue with religious instruction at their grade level.

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is the Church’s guide for forming and welcoming those who wish to be initiated into the Catholic Church. The process, called the “catechumenate,” is modeled on that practiced in the early Church. It’s “an apprenticeship of the entire Christian life” (General Directory for Catechesis, #67), a journey that involves conversion, reflection on Scripture, formation in the gospel way of life and integration into the community—its prayer, relationships and outreach. ~J McKamey.
Our Lady of the Fields offers a year-round process and accepts inquirers at any time.
