    • Interested in Becoming Catholic?

       

      Men and women who have not been baptized are referred to as “catechumens” and enter the Catholic Church through order of Christian Initiation of Adults. (OCIA)

       This process has several stages of prayer and formation that culminate in the Holy Saturday Easter Vigil Liturgy as the catechumen receives the three sacraments of initiation: baptism, confirmation, and Eucharist.

      For more information contact your local parish or
      the office of Faith Formation.
