Interested in Becoming Catholic? OCIA Inquiry Session
Maria Hayes • July 29, 2025

Join us for an OCIA Inquiry Session on Wednesday, August 20, at 6:00 p.m., in the Guerin Room.
If you—or someone you know—are curious about the Catholic faith, seeking Baptism, or are a baptized Christian looking to be received into the Church, the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) is the place to begin.
This informal session is a great opportunity to ask questions and learn more about the journey of becoming Catholic. All are welcome!
