R.C.I.A. stands
for the "Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults"
While many
children born into the Catholic faith are introduced to
Catholicism through formal schooling and tutoring by parents,
teachers and friends in the Faith, some may not have these
opportunities readily available to them. The term "Adults" also
includes older children who wish to learn about Catholicism
voluntarily. The Catholic Church has always welcomed anyone who
is called to follow the path of Jesus.
This rosary is
intended especially for Candidates and Catechumens as they learn
the teachings of the Bible and the Church. The deep red beads
represent the fire that the Holy Spirit kindles within spirits
as they embark on their own special journey into the true
meaning of Faith. The Scapular center and Crucifix combine with
the beads to bring together the Trinity, central to Catholic
belief and creed. We hope that this rosary helps them find their
way. |
