Christian Initiation

Are you thinking about becoming a Catholic?

The Catholic Church welcomes your interest in Faith!

Would you like to receive your Holy Communion & Confirmation?

We will prepare you for these sacraments!

Are you looking for a church to call your own?

Do you struggle with questions about life-death-suffering- hope-forgiveness-love-God?

If so, the CI process could be for you.

Christian Initiation (C.I.) is primarily about conversion and the ways in which we come to know the good news of the Gospel and how it applies to our everyday life. All are welcome to begin this journey of conversation and to fall in love with Christ.

For adults 18 and older who wish to know about Jesus and the Catholic Faith. Inquiry is drop-in style once month. Please join us for 8:30AM Mass and then a short inquiry session after to begin your journey. Check the bulletin for dates!
