Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults

Welcome! This page is for information regarding adults who wish to join the Catholic Church. Whether you have been baptized in another church and want to join us or have no religious background, we would love to get to know you, no matter where you or your family are in the journey of your life so as to bring the saving love of Jesus Christ into your life. 

If you have any questions or interest in this process, please contact Geri Hough, Director of the Rite of Christian Initiation (see below).

"The Church finds her origin and fulfillment in the eternal plan of God. She was prepared for in the Old Covenant with the election of Israel, the sign of the future gathering of all the nations. Founded by the words and actions of Jesus Christ, fulfilled by his redeeming death and Resurrection, the Church has been manifested as the mystery of salvation by the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. She will be perfected in the glory of heaven as the assembly of all the redeemed of the earth. ... The mission of the Church is to proclaim and establish the Kingdom of God begun by Jesus Christ among all peoples. The Church constitutes on earth the seed and beginning of this salvific Kingdom." #149-150, Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church
