Children who are above the age of 7 and who are not yet baptized or have not had prior catechesis in the Catholic Church participate in the Rite of Christian Initiation Adapted for Children. This process is dependent on the support of the parents and family, as children are not yet adults.  The process may take 2 years or longer, but is also readiness-based so the time does vary per individual.  Discernment interviews take place prior to beginning sessions, as well as throughout the process to discern readiness.   The sessions typically begin in September and families must attend sessions together.
