Are you, or is someone you know, curious about becoming Catholic?
Maybe you were baptized in another Christian community but find yourself curious about Catholic practices. Perhaps you've been attending Mass with your spouse but you want to know what Catholics actually believe. Or maybe this is your first encounter with the love of Jesus Christ. Wherever you are in your faith journey, we are here to accompany you as you explore the Catholic faith!
The Becoming Catholic process (formerly called RCIA, the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) process offers a chance to consider your own faith journey in light of the community and resources the Catholic Church offers. Led by our priests and energetic volunteer team, weekly group meetings explore Catholic teachings, rituals, morality, and prayer in a welcoming, supportive atmosphere.
Our Becoming Catholic group meets weekly on Tuesdays from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. from August through May of each year. In addition to the Tuesday formation sessions, our Becoming Catholic community attends the 10:00 a.m. Mass together each Sunday. Our next season of Becoming Catholic formation will begin on Tuesday, August 22, 2023.
You won't journey alone! Every seeker is accompanied by a sponsor - a companion and mentor in faith - who supports you throughout the process. You may already have a Catholic mentor in your life who you ask to accompany you, or one of our friendly parish volunteers can journey with you.
The first step is to reach out to our Director of Adult Faith Formation, Ashley Logsdon, to learn more, share about your faith journey, and discern together the best path forward. Contact Ashley at alogsdon@stpius.net or 574-272-8462, ext. 122. Or, fill out your contact info in the form below, and we'll reach out to you very soon!
We are always in need of parishioners to assist as sponsors, who support seekers in their faith journey and welcome them into our Saint Pius community. Experienced sponsors are also invited to consider assisting with our Becoming Catholic Team, which provides leadership and logistical support throughout the entire process. Please contact Ashley to learn more and to volunteer.
