Growing in our understanding of Scripture helps us know Jesus Christ more deeply and recognize how God’s Word speaks to our lives today. Our Bible Study gathers for multi-week sessions during the school year to explore a book or theme of the Bible together through Scripture, discussion, and reflection.
You don’t need to be a Bible expert to participate. Whether you have studied Scripture for years or are just beginning to open the Bible for yourself, you are welcome.

Maybe you’ve been coming to Mass with a Catholic family member or friend. Maybe you were raised in another Christian tradition—or with no particular faith at all. Maybe something has simply led you to wonder what Catholics believe and whether the Catholic Church might be a place for you.
You are welcome to explore those questions.
The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) is the process through which adults learn about the Catholic faith, deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ, and discern whether they are being called to become Catholic. It is also for baptized Catholics who have not yet received all of the Sacraments of Initiation.
There is no expectation that you have everything figured out before you begin. Asking questions and learning more does not commit you to becoming Catholic.
Curious about the Catholic faith or wondering what your next step might be? Contact Bonnie Veysey We’d be happy to begin with a conversation.
Already Catholic and interested in accompanying others on their journey of faith? The OCIA team also welcomes parishioners who would like to share their faith, offer hospitality, and walk alongside those exploring the Catholic Church. Contact Bonnie Veysey to learn more.Baptism is the beginning of our life in Christ and our entry into the life of the Church. Parents preparing to have a child baptized are accompanied through the process, with opportunities to learn about the meaning of the sacrament, their important role in nurturing their child’s Catholic faith, and what to expect during the baptismal liturgy.
Whether this is your first child, your first experience with a Catholic Baptism, or simply your first Baptism in a while, we are here to help you prepare and answer your questions.
Would you like to have your child baptized? Start here to begin the conversation.
Interested in helping families prepare for Baptism? Parishioners who would like to welcome and accompany families as they prepare for this important sacrament are also invited to learn more about serving in Baptism Preparation.
