Becoming Catholic
The Catholic Church is unlike any other organization on earth. In fact, it is more accurate to call the Church an “organism” – a living body: Christ’s body.
Why be Catholic?
To become Catholic is to become part of His body – a process that begins with Baptism and continues forever. Being Catholic in today’s world provides great challenges and opportunities for personal growth and self-awareness, and also a solid foundation for a life of community and relationship with God.
First Steps - OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation of Adults)
Are you or someone you know interested in becoming Catholic?
Maybe you have a non-Catholic friend, co-worker or family member who has expressed an interest in becoming Catholic or just wants to learn more about the Catholic faith. If so, we have a wonderful opportunity for you and them here at St. Gregory's. OCIA is the process of education, prayer, discernment and community building that we enter into with people interested in becoming Catholic.
If you are interested in receiving more information about the OCIA process please contact the parish office at 580-237-0812. All are welcome!
