OCIA

What is the First Step?

Pray. Listen. Encounter. Explore. Sometimes the whole process of becoming Catholic can seem daunting from the outside. But the key is to step out courageously and listen to the voice of the Lord prompting you to “Follow Me.” Typically during the summer months, the ‘Inquiry Process’ or the time of Question/Answer begins. Starting in the Fall, the period of the Catechumante begins.
