Are you curious about the Catholic faith? Do you have questions about what Catholics believe, how we pray, or how we live out our faith in daily life?
Come and See: Sessions Begin this September!
No matter where you are on your spiritual journey – whether you were baptized in another tradition, are completely new to faith, or are a baptized Catholic looking to complete your Sacraments you are welcome here.
We invite you to take the first step. For a casual, no-pressure conversation or to ask any questions, please reach out to us:
The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA), formerly known as RCIA, is a beautiful, supportive process of spiritual formation. It is a path of sharing Catholic teachings, exploring Scripture, engaging in prayer, and connecting with a vibrant community.
We walk this path together through five gentle, meaningful stages:
1. Inquiry (Pre-Catechumenate) | The “Come & See” Phase
This is your time to ask the big questions. There is no commitment required—just an open door to explore the person of Jesus Christ, the foundations of the Catholic Church, and the basics of faith.
2. Learning & Growth (Catechumenate) | Deepening Your Roots
If you choose to move forward, you’ll be formally welcomed into the community to begin learning more about Catholic morality, the Sacraments, the life of Jesus, and what it looks like to live daily as a Catholic.
Coinciding with the season of Lent, this is a period of intense, beautiful spiritual preparation. It is a time for deep prayer and heart-searching as you prepare to receive or fully enter into communion with the Church.
4. Celebration! (Sacraments of Initiation) | Welcome Home
At the breathtaking Easter Vigil service, your journey reaches a major milestone. Unbaptized participants (Catechumens) and already-baptized participants (Candidates) receive the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and the Eucharist, fully entering into the Catholic Church.
5. Continuing the Journey (Mystagogy) | Living the Mystery
The weeks following Easter are all about reflecting on the incredible experience of the Sacraments. Together, our newly initiated Catholics (neophytes) navigate the early steps of living out a vibrant life in Christ and within our parish community.
Ready to take a look? There is absolutely no pressure to join the Church just by attending. Come with your questions, your doubts, and your curiosity. We can’t wait to meet you!
