Hi, I’m 16 years old and I go to church with my mom at a non denomintational church. I was baptised catholic. My parents divorced when I was 4 and I didnt get first communion (I have taken communion before though) or confirmation. I was wondering when I am 18 and go to college will I have to go to RCIA.
 
You probably will, but no one here will know for sure. If you’re Mom will allow you to meet with a Priest he will tell you what you need to do. If she won’t, when you turn 18 you can go ask.

May God bless your journey home.

If you wish to complete your sacraments of initiation, RCIA is the normal route. Many colleges have Newman Centers or campus ministry centers where they have Mass, RCIA, and various other activities for students. They are also accustomed to campus schedules and seeing everyone leave for breaks or the summer.

You need RCIA to complete your Christian initiation and to be readmitted into full communion and allowed to partake of the Holy Eucharist. You may mention this to your mom and ask her to take you to the nearest Catholic Parish and enroll you, or - if you don’t want to ask or if she denies you permission - you may wait until you are 18 and then simply go there by yourself.

My suggestion is that you read the Catechism of the Catholic Church to have a more firm grasp of the fullness of the Christian apostolic tradition.

May the Lord bless you and may Our Lady keep you under her mantle of grace.
