Becoming Catholic

Becoming Catholic is one of life’s most profound and joyous experiences.  A person who is baptized in the Catholic Church becomes a Catholic at that moment.  Their initiation is deepened by Confirmation and the Eucharist, but one becomes a Catholic at baptism.  A person is brought into full communion with the Catholic Church through reception of the three sacraments of Christian initiation—baptism, confirmation, and the Holy Eucharist.

Adults and Children seeking to Become Catholic - Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (OCIA)

Persons that have not been baptized, or have been baptized in another Christian community (ie, are already Christian) pursue a period of preparation prior to becoming a fully initiated member of the Catholic Church.
