BECOMING CATHOLIC
For anyone aged 7 and above interested in becoming Catholic, you will begin preparation with the Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (OCIA) or Order of Christian Initiation for Children (OCIC). OCIA is a communal process for formal initiation of new members into the Catholic Church. It is a process of study, exploration, faith-sharing, and faith formation.
This is for anyone who has not been baptized and wants to receive the sacraments of Baptism, First Communion, and Confirmation or anyone who has been baptized in another Christian religion.
If you have been baptized in another Christian religion, you will make a profession of faith and receive the sacraments of First Communion and Confirmation to come into full communion with the Catholic Church. OCIA and OCIC classes begin in the fall, ending with Easter Vigil each year.
If you or your child are interested, please fill out the interest form below. A leader will contact you with more information.

RETURNING CATHOLICS
As a parish family, we deeply miss those who have stepped away or have been absent from Mass and the sacraments. If you or a loved one are unsure of how to return or reconnect, please know that our doors are always open. You are missed, and you are always welcome here. We invite you to explore our website to find resources, connect with our community, and grow in your faith.
Please feel free to explore any questions you may have about the Catholic Church or how you can return to an active participation in the Church by visiting the Catholics Come Home website.
