RCIA starts in the fall, and candidates are received into the Church at the Easter Vigil Mass.

If you are already baptized, you might be able to get your confirmation and 1st communion done at the Feast of Christ the King towards the end of November. My parish is currently asking people to come forward for this now. If your parish doesn't do this, then they will likely still accept you to start a program that will complete by the time of the Easter Vigil. You should ask around at parishes in your area to see what the priests can do for you. Don't forget though, that to get married in the church, they generally require at least a 1 year engagement as well as marriage preparation classes that will help you and your fiance take this step in your lives. If you or your fiance are already baptized catholic then you have a right/obligation to be married in the church and the priest may even combine your RCIA classes with your pre-marriage counselling.
