Are you or someone you know interested in exploring the Catholic Church? If you have been waiting for a sign, this is it. For those who are already Catholic, this is a challenge to invite someone who could be interested in learning more about the faith.

Each year on Holy Saturday during the Easter Vigil, thousands of adults are baptized into the Catholic Church in the United States. The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) is the welcoming process through which adults become full members of the Roman Catholic Church. It begins with the Period of Evangelization and Precatechumenate, a time when those interested in the Catholic Church are encouraged to ask questions, reflect on their relationship with Jesus Christ, and prayerfully seek a deeper knowledge of Christ and His Church.

If you are already Catholic but have not yet received the Sacraments of Holy Communion or Confirmation, this is your opportunity to complete your full initiation into the Catholic faith. Through OCIA, you will gain a deeper understanding of the Catholic faith and learn how to live it out in daily life.

If you would like to learn more about becoming Catholic or completing your initiation, please fill out the form by scanning the QR code or visiting this link:
