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

Becoming Catholic is a profound and joyous experience. Some are blessed to receive this great gift when they are infants, and others enter the Catholic fold when they are older children or adults.

"God is love," the Bible teaches, and in this unsteady world, God invites you into a relationship with love that will bring peace and understanding. This relationship with him is lived in the life of the Church, where God's light and love can shine through you!

Entering the Catholic Church

To enter into full communion with the Catholic Church, one receives the Sacraments of Initiation, which are Baptism, Holy Communion, and Confirmation.

Those who have not received any of these sacraments in the Catholic Church can enter the process called the Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (OCIA, formerly called RCIA). Those in OCIA learn about the Catholic faith and deepen their own spiritual lives as they prepare to join the Church community. Learn more about OCIA at St. Anthony's here.

If you have already been baptized or received First Holy Communion:
