Beginning your journey into the Church

The journey

Becoming a Catholic is a journey rather than a single step. Through a process called the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults, you will have time to explore the faith, ask your questions, and come to know Christ at your own pace. Those preparing are usually received into the Church at the Easter Vigil.

Take the first step

Get in touch and tell us a little about yourself and where you are. It starts with a conversation, no pressure and no obligation.

Walk with us

Explore the faith at your own pace, accompanied by people who have made this journey themselves and a community that welcomes you.

Come into the Church

When you are ready, you are received through the Sacraments of Initiation, usually at the Easter Vigil, and begin your new life as a Catholic.
