Interested in Becoming Catholic?

Non-Christians
For adults desiring to prepare for baptism in the Catholic Church, there is a program called the Rite of the Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA), which begins with classes and meetings in the Fall and culminates, after a period of much prayer, instruction and discernment, in the receiving of the Sacrament of Baptism at the Easter Vigil. To download a registration form to become a catechumen preparing for baptism in the Catholic Church, please click here.

Baptized non-Catholic Christians
There is also a program for non-Catholic Christians who would like to become Catholic. This involves classes on the Catholic faith and preparation to receive the sacraments of confession, Holy Communion, and confirmation. To download a registration form to become a candidate for full communion with the Catholic Church, please click here.

These forms could be filled out and dropped off at the sacristy before or after Mass, or to the parish office during normal hours.

All those who have questions about either program are urged to contact Fr. Landry at 508.993.1691 or by email
