Order of Christian Initiation
How does one become Catholic?
Becoming a Catholic Christian is a process of personal transformation which opens us up to God and guides us on the path to being our best self. St. Rose of Lima collaborates with Formed.org to teach the Sacraments and develop a lifelong connection to the Catholic Faith.
If you have not been previously baptized, your journey will focus on discovering life in Jesus Christ, learning how to pray, hearing the Word of God, worshiping with the Church and discerning how to live out an appropriate response to the God who is calling you by name. If you have been baptized in another Christian tradition, becoming a Catholic Christian serves as a invitation to deeper union with Christ and God's commissioned people, the Church; your journey will focus on enriching prayer practice, moving more deeply into the Gospel way of life, living in union with the people of God, and engaging fully in the sacramental life of the Church. If you were baptized in the Catholic Church but did not receive much formation in order to be fully initiated into life in Christ through the celebration of First Holy Communion and/or Confirmation, this opportunity is also for you.

Inquire about the OCIA by contacting the church office for more information.
