Are you curious about what the Catholic Church teaches? Or, perhaps you have already decided to become Catholic and need to know what is involved. Whichever your situation or circumstance may be, we welcome you and would like to journey with you!

Becoming Catholic is a joyous and communal experience. A person is brought into full communion with the Catholic Church through reception of the three sacraments of Christian initiation—baptism, confirmation, and the holy Eucharist—but this process by which one becomes a Catholic can be different for each individual depending on your circumstances and where you are in your faith journey.
Before a person is ready to be received into the Church, whether by baptism or by profession of faith, preparation is necessary. The amount and type of preparation depends on the individual’s circumstance. The preparation process is different between those who are unbaptized, and those who have already become Christian through baptism in another church.

Those who have been baptized in a different Christian denomination become Catholics by taking instruction in the faith, making a profession of the Catholic faith, and being formally received into the Church. This is followed by confirmation and the Eucharist. Unbaptized adults enter the Church by the Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (OCIA) and receive the sacraments of initiation at the Easter Vigil.

If you are ready to start your journey, we would be happy to meet with you and answer any questions you may have.
