Are you considering becoming a Catholic Christian? RCIA, the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, is the place for you to discover the Catholic faith.
There are very few [people] who realize what God would make of them if they abandoned themselves entirely to his hands, and let themselves be formed by His Grace.
St. Ignatius of Loyola
