Apostolic Apologetics: How to Become Catholic

---

Introduction

This document discusses the process of becoming Catholic. Though the proccess may differ from parish to parish, this document is designed to give you the basics of what you'll need to know to begin the journey.

Education

The first step in becoming Catholic is familiarizing yourself with the teaching of the Church. This can be done a number of ways, though I would suggest reading the scriptures and the Catechism of the Catholic Church, which is the culmination of 2000 years of Church interpretation regarding Sacred Scripture.

RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults)

RCIA, of the Rite of Christian Initian for Adults is where both the baptized and unbaptized typically begin their familiarization with the Catholic Church, it's teachings and go through the three Sacraments which will complete this journey, Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Eucharist.

Ask your local parish if they have an RCIA program, and they will let you know where you can attend RCIA.
