How to Become Catholic

- Know ( Learn )

If you want to become Catholic, or are simply interested in learning more about the Catholic Church, we will be delighted to answer your questions and walk with you on this journey. Please fill in the form at the bottom of this page and we will get in touch with you. The Church has created a program to facilitate this process that we call R.C.I.A.

RCIA stands for the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. It is the rite by which the Catholic community welcomes adults into the Catholic Church.

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is the process by which adults journey towards the celebration of the Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist. This journey involves prayer, reflection, learning and discernment… all done within the midst of parish community members who share faith and offer genuine hospitality.

R.C.I.A. is a process for:
- Those who would like to find out more about the Catholic faith.
- Those who are interested in becoming Catholic.
- Those who have been baptized Catholic but have not yet been Confirmed or may not have received the Eucharist.
- Those who have been away from the church for awhile and are interested in renewing their faith, understanding, and attaining a sense of community.
Wherever you are at in your faith journey, we welcome you and your questions and hope you will find in us, not travel agents who are experts in the field, but rather friends who offer themselves as companions for the journey. Remember… we are ALL pilgrims on this journey of faith. No one on earth has yet achieved the goal. Even the most learned & devout Catholics are still beginners on the journey to our heavenly homeland. So… welcome to the community of “beginners”!

If you are interested or know of anyone over the age of seven who is interested in becoming Catholic or in completing their Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Eucharist and/or Confirmation), please fill in the form at the bottom of this page, or contact: Mary Ann Kozak at (607) 269-7248 or by email at [email protected].
