Becoming Catholic

Let the Church always be a place of mercy and hope, where everyone is welcomed, loved and forgiven. - Pope Francis. 

Becoming Catholic is one of life’s most profound and joyous experiences. Some are blessed enough to receive this great gift while they are infants, and, over time, they recognize the enormous grace that has been bestowed on them. Others enter the Catholic fold when they are older children or adults. 

If you are discerning having your child become Catholic, we are delighted to assist you in your discernment process. To become Catholic, one receives the Sacraments of Initiation, which are Baptism, Holy Communion, and Confirmation. We prepare children to receive these sacraments through religious education that is inherent in the school's curriculum.

If you or other members of your family are also discerning entering into the Catholic Church, we would be happy to answer questions, assist you, and walk with you on your journey of faith.
