What Is The RCIC Program

RCIC stands for the Rite of Christian Initiation of Children, the Catholic process for children aged 7-17 who are not baptised and wish to become members of the Church.

It's a program consisting of four sessions; offering spiritual formation that includes prayer, study, and community participation, preparing for the Sacraments of Baptism.

The process is for school-aged children who were either not baptised or baptised in another Christian tradition and want to become Catholic. 

It is a prerequisite to attend four Baptism Preparation sessions before arranging the Baptisms, where you will receive information and a full understanding of the process. The RCIC (Rite of Christian Initiation of Children) Sessions for children who are aged 7 years plus are held at
Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Wodonga.

To enroll for the preparation sessions, please contact the Wodonga Catholic Parish Centre. E: wodcath@bigpond.net.au OR phone: (02) 6024 3366
