Becoming Catholic

Interested in becoming catholic?
ORDER of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA)

Meets Wednesdays @ 7:45 AM
Parish Center
This process permits prospective Catholics to learn about the faith and share their journey. It is for all who are considering membership in the Church. Adult baptized Catholics, who have never received Confirmation or First Eucharist, are also encouraged to attend and prepare to receive these sacraments.

Contact Michaela Brown to start the conversation. She will schedule a time to meet with you, hear about your journey until now, and discuss next steps from there based on your situation.

Initiation For Children:
Children ages 7-14 who have not been baptized, have been baptized but not in the Catholic Church, and/or have not received their First Holy Communion are invited to participate in the Rite of Christian Initiation for Children. Arrangements are made according to need. Those in high school will be invited to participate in the OCIA, or special arrangements can be made.
Just asking Questions?
