If you are interested in the Catholic faith, you are most welcome to come and spend some time here to get to know God through the Church that he established here on earth. We warmly welcome you to engage with us at whatever level you find most comfortable. You are also welcome to attend an OCIA inquiry class or reach out to Deacon Dave Odermann if you would like a one-on-one conversation.
In addition, you are invited to come to Mass and just watch the liturgy. Of course non-Catholics would not go to receive Communion (until you've been received into the Church), but you would benefit much from a spiritual communion, and you would be edified by the deep mystery of the Mass.
In short, we invite you to consider this place your spiritual home--even if informally--until all of your doubts have been addressed and the Lord's wonderful grace has had its way with your soul.
The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults is a process of conversion whereby adults become full participating members of the Catholic Church through the Sacraments of Initiation. OCIA intends to instruct catechumenates both spiritually as well as intellectually.
OCIA is for:
Those who have not been baptized or were baptized in other faith traditions and now feel called to become Catholic.
Fully initiated Catholics seeking deeper catechetical knowledge of their Catholic Faith.
