In your case I would talk to the priest at the Church where you attend Masses (supposed theu are in full communion with Rome)
They are. 🙂
Legally you are allowed to enroll into RCIA in any parish with full communion if the Church, or receive the instructions without RCIA
Thanks! I will and see what he says.
 
One more question: Do traditional churches bring candidates into the church during Easter Vigil? Is there such a ceremony?
 
In the traditional times there was no RCIA, only the rule that new converts shall be instructed about the Catholic Faith and shall make the Tridentine confession. They received a few informal instruction from the priest.

The RCIA was introduced is 1975, as the way to provide instruction to the newly baptized adults, and later extended to instruct the converts too. Some traditional churches have RCIA some do not.

RCIA doesn’t dictate how the instruction is given. A traditional parish could do all the rituals that are proper to the RCIA and still have the pastor giving one on one instruction.
