Becoming Catholic - Enter into the Mystery of Christ and His Church

“Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.”

A Universal Church

The Catholic Church — the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church — is the largest and most ancient Christian community, founded by Christ and sustained by the Holy Spirit through the ages.

To become Catholic is to enter into full communion with the Church Christ Himself established.

Why Become Catholic?

To become Catholic is to:

• Enter into a sacramental life rich in grace.
• Belong to the Church founded by Christ and guided by the Holy Spirit.
• Be nourished by the Word of God and the Sacraments.
• Walk the journey of faith in communion with a universal family.

How Do I Begin?

You are invited to explore the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) — the official process of discernment, catechesis, and sacramental preparation for adults entering the Church.

Whether you are:

• Unbaptized and seeking faith,
• Baptized in another Christian tradition,
• Or a baptized Catholic who never received Confirmation or the Eucharist...

OCIA is for you. We will walk with you through a process of prayer, learning, community, and spiritual formation.

Come and see what God has prepared for you.
