Become a Catholic - OCIA
Interested in becoming Catholic or know someone who is?
If you would like to learn more about the Catholic Faith and, in particular, are considering becoming Catholic – we warmly welcome you.
The Catholic Church is the one Church founded by Jesus Christ almost 2000 years ago. Guided by the Holy Spirit, the Church stands firm in the truth and teachings given by Jesus Christ Himself - preserved and handed down through the Apostles and their successors. Through the graces received in the sacraments that Christ instituted, one enters into the vast ocean of God’s love and mercy.
Becoming Catholic is a beautiful journey of faith. Through prayer, learning, and community, you’ll come to know Christ more deeply and experience the fullness of truth and life in Him through the sacraments.
Adults enter the Church through the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA), a process that helps you explore the Catholic faith, ask questions, and prepare for the sacraments, based on your background.
OCIA classes meet on Thursday evenings from September to May. At the Easter Vigil, Candidates (already baptized) are received into full communion with the Church, and Catechumens (not yet baptized) are fully initiated into the Catholic Church.
