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!

Doris adored being Mom, Grandma, and Gigi to her beloved children, grandchildren, and great-grandsons. We loved her more than anything and will miss her so much. She enjoyed making our favorite foods (including her chicken salad, fresh tomatoes with cottage cheese, mouse sandwiches, curly noodles, chili, fruit faces, sunshine salad, meringue pie with “syrup,” and chocolate pudding pie), sewing (especially our Halloween costumes), throwing helicopter seeds, seeing our performances and games, watching the UK Wildcats play, and spending time with her family. Providence alumni may remember her smiling face and helping hand behind the desk in the front office, where she served as secretary for many years. She was a member of Holy Family Catholic Church. Visitation will be held from 2:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on February 3, 2026 at Newcomer Cremations, Funerals & Receptions (3309 Ballard Lane, New Albany, IN 47150).
