The best way to explore becoming Catholic is to do so by connecting with real Catholic people in the Catholic community nearest to you! Here, you can get a real experience of what Catholic life is like and the people there can accompany you on your journey. To find a Catholic Church near you, use our simple ‘Find a church’ tool here.
Getting involved in the events of your local church is a great way to explore the faith in more depth. Attend Mass, find a prayer group or join for social events.
When you feel ready to explore the big questions, you can start the formal process towards becoming a Catholic. This process is called RCIA, which stands for ‘the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults’. When you feel ready, enquire with your local priest or parish office about beginning RCIA.
