Becoming Catholic

If you are considering becoming a Catholic, or you are a baptized Catholic who is considering completing your Sacraments of Initiation (Confirmation and Holy Eucharist), the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) process can help you.  To decide whether this path is right for you, please contact your local Catholic parish, where the pastor or a trained OCIA team member will meet with you and answer your questions. No immediate commitment is necessary at the time of initial inquiry.

The OCIA process is designed to offer you guidance and support in your spiritual journey towards a deepening relationship with Jesus.  As you move forward through prayer, reflection, Scripture reading, storytelling, questioning, worshiping, and performing works of charity, OCIA members, along with the parish community, will accompany you on your faith journey.
 
For additional information on the OCIA process, please see the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ website.
