Adult Faith Formation
Faith formation is a vital element of Catholic life…
A deeper understanding of the Faith can help us to grow in our spiritual lives, developing our intimate relationship with God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Through this relationship, we also grow closer as people, forming the one community of the Church. Such faith formation is not just for children, but for all of us as we grow in love of Christ.
Interested in becoming Catholic or growing in your knowledge of the Faith?
We are so excited by your interest in exploring the riches and truth of the Catholic Faith! The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) is the process by which those who are interested in being baptized into Christ; entering the Communion of the Catholic Church; or completing their Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation) do so.
Participating in the group and/or attending its meetings is also an awesome opportunity for those who are already Catholic to learn more about the Faith while witnessing to their belief and spiritually supporting those who are seeking to complete their initiation into the Church.
Have questions, or want to talk about the Catholic Faith?
Our staff would more than happy to meet with you! Please feel welcome and invited to schedule an appointment with Maxim Farrell, our Pastoral Assistant for Adult Faith Formation!
