RCIA Forms:

These forms are used to obtain important information about those inquiring about Christian Initiation. A description of each form follows:

Form RCIA-A:   Inquirer Information Form   PDF 39K
This form requests basic contact information, religious history, marital status, and family information. This is the only form that inquirers should complete by themselves. The coordinator, a priest-chaplain, or another initiation minister should complete any other applicable form(s) in an interview format with the inquirer after he or she has completed this form.

Form RCIA-B:   Current Marital Status Follow-Up   PDF 40K
If an inquirer is engaged, married, or divorced and not re-married, specific questions should be asked to determine if marriage-related issues need to be addressed. Complete the appropriate section of this form with the inquirer in an interview format.

Form RCIA-C:   Previous Marriage Information  PDF 40K
If an inquirer and/or an inquirer’s fiancée(e) or spouse has been previously married, use this form to gather basic information to determine the status of the previous marriage(s). Question (c) asks specific questions to verify if a Declaration of Nullity has been granted.

It is best to complete the appropriate section(s) of this form with the inquirer and/or the inquirer’s fiancée(e) or spouse in an interview format, so that you can explain why you are asking certain questions. Keep in mind that previous marriage situations, no matter the current status, must be treated with pastoral sensitivity.

Form RCIA-D:   Christian Initiation Information PDF 36K
The first two sections of this form provide a place to record the dates and other significant information regarding an inquirer’s participation in the Christian initiation process for sacramental record keeping purposes. Use the reverse side of this form to record the dates on which the steps of the annulment process have been completed, if applicable.

Tips for Using the Forms
Photocopy each form on a different color paper to easily distinguish them.

Keep the forms for those who are currently participating in the Christian initiation process in a three-ring binder so that you can insert additional forms as needed.

These forms contain all the information needed for completing the Archdiocesan sacramental records.
