- Each year during the Easter season, the Church welcomes new members through Baptism and profession of faith (for those who are coming from other Christian traditions). The Church also welcomes to their First Communion and Confirmation those who have not completed their initiation in the Catholic community
- The journey toward full participation in the Catholic community is meant to touch our heads and our hearts. Meetings provide time for questions from the participants, in-put on a specific topic, discussion and preparation for the following Sunday’s liturgy, but they also provide time for personal reflection, prayer, and community-building with others who are on the faith journey together in this community.
- Throughout the year, in addition to the Tuesday night meetings, there will be special opportunities to meet the larger Catholic community at Boston College, to celebrate rituals of preparation, to travel to the Cathedral to join with others who are completing their initiation and to meet Archbishop O’Malley.
- The RCIA group meets on Tuesday nights, 7 -9, in McElroy 115.

Catholic InquiryStudents come to Boston College with varied backgrounds in religion. Finding themselves on a Catholic campus where religion plays a significant role, Catholics and non-Catholics alike may have questions about the belief and practices in the Catholic Church.
