Baptism
“Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit (vitae spiritualis ianua), and the door which gives access to the other sacraments.” (Paragraph 1213 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church). The grace we receive in baptism makes us children of God the Father and welcomes us into the Catholic Church.
To request a Baptism, please complete the Baptism Application Form. Someone from our Pastoral Team will contact you.
Order of Christian Initiation of Adults
The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) starts with a period of instruction and progresses into a more in-depth experience of Catholicism. It focuses on the spiritual and intellectual aspects of the Catholic Church and the Christian faith. The program is intended for those interested in becoming members of the Church, as well as for those curious about the Church and the Christian faith. (It was formerly known as the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, or RCIA.)
To learn more about the program, please complete the OCIA Interest Form. Someone from our Pastoral Team will contact you.
