Why is there a process? Why can’t I just say I’m Catholic?
Our Catholicity is more than just a series of actions or rituals. It’s more than a collection of prayers or obligations. It’s even more than our scripture and symbols. Our history, our belief, our sacraments are rich in meaning, definition, and purpose. By joining the Catholic Church, you will unite with a Christian family of faith throughout the world and throughout all time. We want you to have the full benefit of a spiritual and rational understanding of the creed you will profess, the sacraments you will receive, and the relationship of faith you will be forming. Our relationship with God is always a process, an encounter that we engage throughout our entire life. RCIA is also a process, offering both information and formation.
How do I know if I need the RCIA process?
The RCIA is for: People who have never received Christian baptism; called “Catechumens” in the RCIA. Catechumens will receive instruction and formation, leading toward reception of all 3 sacraments of Initiation [Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist].
People who received a Christian Baptism in a different denomination; called “Candidates” in the RCIA. The Catholic faith is a Christian religion. Other examples of Christian religions are: Baptist, United Church of Christ, Assembly of God, Presbyterian, Lutheran, etc. All Christian religions share a common baptism in Christ. RCIA Candidates will receive instruction and formation, leading toward celebrating the sacraments of Reconciliation, Confirmation, and Eucharist.
People who were baptized in the Catholic Church, but were not educated (i.e., catechized) in the Catholic faith beyond baptism. These adults are also called Candidates in the RCIA process and, as with the Candidates described above, will receive instruction and formation, leading toward celebrating the sacraments of Reconciliation, Confirmation, and Eucharist.
Our Lady of Las Vegas’ RCIA program begins on Wednesday, September 6 at 6pm in the McFarland Room of Bevan Hall. Contact Julia at 702 802-2300 or [email protected] for more information.

Natural Family Planning Awareness Week is a national educational campaign. The Natural Family Planning Program of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops develops a poster each year with basic supportive materials. It is the individual dioceses however, that offer a variety of educational formats in the local church to focus attention on Natural Family Planning methods and Church teachings which support their use in marriage.
The dates of Natural Family Planning Awareness Week highlight the anniversary of the papal encyclical Humanae Vitae (July 25) which articulates Catholic beliefs about human sexuality, conjugal love and responsible parenthood. The dates also mark the feast of Saints Joachim and Anne (July 26), the parents of the Blessed Mother. For further information, contact [email protected].
