Faith Formation
One. Holy. Catholic. Apostolic
“Jesus Christ loves you; He gave His life to save you; and now He is living at your side every day to enlighten, strengthen and free you.”
- Pope Francis
You might be reading this page because you are curious about what is involved in becoming a Catholic, or because you firmly desire to join the Catholic Church. Either way, we wish to assure you that at no stage will the Catholic Church put you under any pressure to sign up and become a full member. In fact, you may find the process of becoming a Catholic somewhat slower than you would like… because membership
involves making a firm commitment to God and to the local
Catholic community, and is not to be undertaken lightly! Those wishing to become Catholic enter a systematic program that is known as OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation for Adults) to receive the Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Communion. Depending on one’s state in life and which Sacraments are needed, a participant is accompanied through different stages along the OCIA journey.
Faith Formation
Our goal is to assist the youth of our community in striving to attain a mature faith through celebration of the sacraments, worship, catechesis and service.
