Is this you, or someone you know?

• Not yet been baptized, or has been baptized Christian but not Catholic, and who is interested in the Roman Catholic faith – perhaps considering joining the Church?
• Baptized Catholic but have not completed your confirmation into the Church?
• A prospective godparent or sponsor who might support and accompany those joining the Church on their spiritual journey to help answer questions and involve them in the Parish community and its events? 
• Or... a church volunteer, catechist-teacher, lay minister, or parishioner who wants a better understanding of Catholicism or a deeper formation for your spiritual life as a Catholic?

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is involved?  We explore topics concerning the nature of the Church, its beliefs as well as scripture and sacraments, a little history, spirituality, and prayer.  You’ll learn what being a Catholic really means.
• How long does the process take?  Preparing for full participation in the Catholic faith through OCIA involves many considerations. The time it takes can vary. For some, it’s less than a year, while others may take longer. Everyone is encouraged to proceed in their journey of faith as the Holy Spirit guides.
• What does it cost?  There is no cost, and all materials are provided.
