The Becoming Catholic experience is a profound, but gradual, process of conversion to the Catholic faith and an integration into the liturgical and communal life of the Church. Adults are prepared to receive or complete the sacraments of initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist).

Every fall through the following May/June, we offer Become Catholic, a 9-month formation program for:

• Adults who want to be baptized in the Catholic Church
• non-Catholic Christian adults who are seeking full communion with the Church
• Baptized Catholic adults who never received the other sacraments of initiation (First Communion and/or Confirmation)

The program consists primarily of weekly meetings on Wednesday evenings, during which there is time for fellowship, instruction, prayer, and discussion. Additionally, retreats and special liturgical services are offered throughout the process.  

The 2023-2024 program will begin with a Come & See on  Sep 20, 2023 in the St. Louis IX Hall at 6:30

Weekly sessions begin October 4, 2023 and continue every Wednesday from 6:30-7:45
