Becoming Catholic
You are welcome in the Catholic Church!
If you are discerning a call to become Catholic, have questions about the faith, or would like to return to church after time away, I am here to support you.
If you are ready to prepare to receive the Sacraments of Baptism, Eucharist, or Confirmation as an adult, I will recommend Emmaus!
Emmaus is the Church of Saint Mary program for becoming Catholic. Emmaus incorporates the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA or RCIA) and is open to all. Like the Road to Emmaus in St. Luke’s gospel, we walk together, encountering God’s love through fellowship, learning, and prayer. Emmaus is held most Thursday evenings during the school year, 6:30-8:30. A family meal is included each week. Nursery is available for children under three and Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is available for children under twelve.
No matter where you are in your journey towards God, I want to help you take the next step.
I look forward to hearing from you through the Inquiry Form below.
