Becoming Catholic, also known as the Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (OCIA) is a process of faith learning for those that want to know about the Catholic Church. It is a journey of gradual and continuing conversion. Those who want to learn more about the Catholic faith engage in periods of prayer, study, discussion and ongoing discernment as to one’s readiness for full initiation into the Church through the Sacraments.
If you have never been baptized, were baptized in another Christian Church, or were baptized into the Catholic Church but did not have the opportunity to receive religious instruction and preparation to celebrate the sacraments of Reconciliation, Eucharist and Confirmation, we invite you to consider participating in our Parish's Becoming Catholic program.
We regularly hold Inquiry Sessions for people just getting started. In these sessions we briefly share a bit about Catholicism and we explain the process to become Catholic or to complete the Sacraments of Initiation for Catholics.
