Each person’s journey of faith is unique.
But, what is universal for all of us is that, known or unknown, God has always been, and forever will be, present in each of our lives. (“At every time and in every place, God draws close to man” CCC 1)
God never tires of tugging at our heart and inviting us to begin, continue, or further deepen a relationship with Him. God is patient with us. He waits for us, and when we are ready, He walks with us through the process of allowing our minds, hearts, and lives to be transformed by Him.
Perhaps you find yourself here, finding out more about the Catholic faith, because you have felt this tug and want to respond to God’s invitation. We welcome you, wherever you are on your journey, and are deeply excited to become a part of that journey of faith; encouraging you, supporting you, praying with you, helping you to find answers, and pursuing Jesus alongside you.
This page will provide you with an overview of the OCIA process and information on how to begin.
If you have any questions, or simply want to talk with someone about your thoughts and experiences that have led you to think more about the Catholic faith, please contact Father Jacob Stinnett
Information about the OCIA process may appear overwhelming but you won’t be figuring it out on your own! Our OCIA team and sponsors walk with you through every step of this incredible journey. They are blessed and honored to be a part of God’s call in your life.
Step one is to fill out the Inquirer form found below. This form will allow us to begin to get to know you and learn how we can best support you throughout the OCIA process.
Once we receive your form Fr Stinnett will reach out to you to go over the next steps.
If you are already Catholic but reading this because you know someone (family members, friends, neighbors or coworkers) who may be interested in becoming Catholic, extend an invitation to contact us. A personal invitation goes a long way! OR if you would like to be a sponsor for someone in the process, who you may or may not know, we extend this invitation to YOU! The rewards and blessings of being a sponsor are beyond naming.
