YOU CAN ALWAYS COME BACK
Have You Been Away from the Church?
If you have been away from the Catholic Church for a while, please know this: you are always welcome back. No matter how long it has been, or what has kept you away, there is no judgment here — only a warm and open door.
Many people find their way back to the Church through a gradual process — beginning by simply attending Mass, then perhaps celebrating the Sacrament of Reconciliation, and reconnecting with a community of faith at their own pace. We understand that returning can feel daunting. We want to make it as simple and as welcoming as possible.
We would be honored to walk with you. If you would like to speak with Fr. Stephen or a member of our staff, please reach out — there is no pressure, just an open conversation.
THINKING ABOUT BECOMING CATHOLIC?
The OCIA Journey
Do you have questions about Jesus, Christianity, or the Catholic faith? Would you like to receive the sacraments? You are in the right place.
OCIA — the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (formerly known as RCIA) — is not just a class. It is a chance to allow God to speak to you personally, to encounter his love for you, and to discern whether the Catholic Church is where you are being called. You are not required to become Catholic to participate. You are simply invited to come and see.
Our OCIA process is a welcoming, unhurried journey through Scripture, Tradition, and the sacraments — accompanied by a community of people who have asked the same questions you are asking.
OCIA is for you if:
-
You have never been baptized and are drawn to the Christian faith
-
You were baptized in another Christian tradition and feel called to become Catholic
-
You were baptized Catholic but never completed your sacraments
-
You simply want to learn more about what Catholics believe
