Anyone who is interested in joining the Catholic Church can inquire at any time throughout the year. People discerning becoming Catholic and who are doing formation to become Catholic meet regularly throughout the year. Rites of Initiation into the Catholic Church for unbaptized persons, or those baptized in another faith, are celebrated at the Easter Vigil. Adult Catholics who return to receive First Holy Communion or Confirmation Sacraments can receive those at any Sunday Mass once they and their Becoming Catholic coordinator feel they are ready.
If you've been considering joining the Catholic Church, continue to pray for God's guidance and support, and consider the Becoming Catholic program as a way to discern God's call in your life. A community of learners and seekers is a great way to complement your prayer life in discerning God's path for you. Not everyone who enters into the Becoming Catholic program ultimately decides to join the Catholic Church, but everyone who participates in the process agrees that it is immensely helpful in discerning God's will for them and in learning more about the Catholic faith.
Are you a Catholic that just wants to know more about our faith? Here at Nativity, our Becoming Catholic program is open to all. We'd love to have you join us to deepen and enrich your own faith!
