Becoming Catholic
In order to become Catholic, you would go through the OCIA / OCIC process.
ORDER OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION FOR ADULTS
The OCIA (formerly known as RCIA) Order of Christian Initiation in Adults is a process of conversion-focused primarily on those belonging to a non-Catholic faith, but seeking information on becoming a Catholic. The process begins in the Fall and concludes at Easter.
ORDER OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION FOR CHILDREN
The OCIC (formerly known as RCIC) is the process involving "Christian Initiation of Children Who Have Reached Catechetical Age." OCIC utilizes the same process as the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults, but with adaptations for children. Through the OCIC process children prepare to receive the sacraments of initiation and enter the Catholic Church.
Please contact Deacon Mark Berard at the Church Office for more information on becoming a Candidate.
