Are you or someone you know interested in becoming Catholic?

The Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (OCIA) is the process through which those who are not baptized are able to become members of the Catholic Church and baptized Christians can receive the Sacraments of Initiation (Holy Communion and Confirmation).

This process includes times of study, prayer, and Rites that take place at Mass. Formation sessions will begin in mid-September.

If you or someone you know is interested, please contact Timothy Ruflin in the parish office to find out more and to set up a meeting.
