Become Catholic
Our tri-parish extends an invitation to all. Whether you are beginning to explore the Catholic faith or have been considering becoming Catholic for a long time, we are here to walk with you on your journey of faith. Our goal is to help everyone on their spiritual journey, with the hope that you will discover your call to be a disciple of Christ in the Church.
Full initiation into the Catholic Church is constituted by participation in the three Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist. The normative process to prepare for the reception of these Sacraments is the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) – a process of spiritual and educational formation that has been handed down to us from the early Church.
Adults seeking to learn more about becoming Catholic should contact Colleen Schiltz (bcschiltz9@gmail.com).
