Welcome to the Catholic Church

The Catholic Church invites everyone to become a member of the Body of Christ.

As the Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches:

“The Church is catholic because she has been sent out by Christ on a mission to the whole of the human race.”
— CCC 831

No matter where you're starting from, the Church is here to walk with you.

Start Your Journey

"I have never been baptized."

If you have not yet been baptized, you are invited to begin your journey of faith through the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA). This process includes learning about the Catholic faith, growing in community, and preparing to receive the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and the Eucharist.

"I was baptized in another Christian denomination."

If you’ve already been baptized in another Christian tradition, the Church honors your baptism. You can enter into full communion with the Catholic Church by:

• Making a Profession of Faith

• Receiving the Sacraments of Confirmation and the Eucharist

Often, this formation happens alongside those in OCIA.

"I was baptized Catholic, but have been away from the Church."

If you were baptized Catholic, you are still a Catholic.

Whether you’ve been attending another church or have been away from the faith for years, the Church welcomes you home. To return to full participation:

• Contact our parish office to speak with a priest

• Go to Confession

• If needed, receive Confirmation or the Eucharist

We’re here to help guide you through the steps.
