Have you been thinking about becoming a Catholic someday? Do you know someone locally that would like to know more?
To become Catholic is to take a firm stance about one's beliefs, one's practices and one's way of life. It is even more than that actually..
Becoming a Catholic means encountering and embracing Jesus Christ in the fullness of HIS teaching and presence. Therefore the choice to become a Baptized and Confirmed believer united to Jesus by the gift of the Holy Eucharist can only be made after careful preparation and spiritual strengthening. The process of preparation and strengthening to become Catholic involves the "Order of Christian Initiation of Adults," or OCIA (formerly RCIA). Participants attend classes in which they study the teachings of the Church and learn her traditions. There is also a series of rites which mark the stages of the journey toward full communion with the Church. At the Easter Vigil, those entering the Church receive the sacraments of initiation.
The OCIA process is carried out at most parishes. At Holy Angels, we are always ready to accept new inquirers who are not Catholic yet or those Catholic Adults who wish to complete their initiation through the sacraments of Confirmation and/or First Holy Communion. We also invite returning Catholics who would like a new start in their faith.
