The Adult Initiation Process

Inquiry Sessions

The inquiry sessions are held several times a year when interested individuals are ready. This period is a time for questioning and learning about the Catholic Church.

It is also a time for individuals to explore the Catholic Church in a relaxed environment which will help them to determine if they are ready to begin a period of study that leads to becoming a Catholic.

Please contact the parish office to enroll in the sessions.

Scripture-Based Study

  • This is a period on study and learning in a faith sharing environment for individuals who have made the decision to pursue becoming a Catholic.
  • These sessions are held on Sunday within and following the 8:30 Mass. They provide an opportunity for the candidate to grow in understanding of faith and their relationship with God.
  • The sessions follow the liturgical year Scripture readings and build on the Gospel and Homily. These sessions are ongoing throughout the year.
