Have you ever wondered what Catholics believe? Perhaps you've attended Mass with family or friends, have questions about the Church, or have simply felt God stirring something in your heart. If so, we invite you to join our Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) program, beginning the week after Labor Day.

OCIA is a welcoming, no-pressure opportunity to learn about the Catholic faith, ask questions, and explore what it means to follow Jesus Christ in the Catholic tradition. Whether you are considering becoming Catholic, have never been baptized, were baptized in another Christian tradition, or are simply seeking a deeper understanding of the faith, you are welcome.

We also extend a heartfelt invitation to those who were raised Catholic but have been away from the Church for a time. No matter how long you've been gone or what has kept you away, know this: you are always welcome here. The Church is your home, the door is always open, and you will be greeted not with judgment, but with a warm smile, a hug, and the grace of the Holy Spirit leading you back into the embrace of Christ and His Church.

If you feel even the smallest nudge to explore your faith or reconnect with the Church, we encourage you to answer that call. We would be honored to walk with you on your journey.

For more information or to register for OCIA, please contact Pam Zerr, our Director of Religious Education, at the parish office (406) 583-9306. We look forward to welcoming you.
