| | Sometimes the priest will offer to help you consider becoming a Catholic by individual sessions with him, so that you can learn about what the Catholic Church teaches and discern God’s will for you. This is an important time and it doesn’t pay to rush, no matter how enthusiastic you may feel. Alternatively, instructions may be given in groups, with other people in the same position as yourself, which might be called by various names – FCIA (which stands for Tirte of Christian Initiation of Adults), Journey of Faith, or something similar. These groups meet over a period of months. Usually adults who wish to become Catholics do so at Easter, during the late night Mass on the Saturday evening before Easter, the Easter Vigil – the greatest feast in the Catholic Calendar! |
