Growing as a Believer
There is a deep hunger right now in our world for hope. We believe our hope is found in Jesus Christ. We long to know Him & to have a deeper relationship with Him, his Father, and the Holy Spirit.
If you are in a stage in your life where you want to grow your relationship with Jesus, or learn more about the Catholic faith, then we invite you to participate in our BELIEVER experiences throughout the year. You will be able to spot them in our communications by the blue stamp, so be sure to bookmark this page or follow along on our app or on social media platforms to see where you will grow in faith.

O.C.I.A.
Formally speaking, OCIA is the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (formerly known as RCIA). It is the process by which new members are brought or otherwise fully initiated into the life of the Church. It is a program of prayer, conversion, learning, and faith sharing. In addition to OCIA sessions, participants will be encouraged to engage in the various faith and service opportunities and the very life of the Parish.
If you are discerning becoming a Catholic, we invite you to read more here.
The next OCIA term begins in November. As preparation, you are encouraged to take part in Alpha, beginning in September as well as our various summer events and Beta courses.
