Who are we
CIAN's Executive Committee
A community of RCIA practitioners seeking to draw people to Christ.
We are a group of RCIA practitioners representing the diocesan and parish levels of the RCIA ministry. We seek to support parishes in accompanying adults through the RCIA process to arrive at union of Jesus Christ through the sacraments of initiation, along with other liturgical rites, prayer, catechesis, and pastoral support. We consider the RCIA process as central in the parish mission of making adult disciples of Jesus Christ and intentional members of the Church.
