How Does a Person Become a Catholic?
Well, there are several ways. Let's look at the two principal routes:
On the one hand, children who are born or adopted into Catholic families are usually baptised as infants. Their faith is nurtured in their family environment and, as they grow older, they receive formal instruction through their parish school or religious education programme.
On the other hand, adults with little, no or different spiritual background looking perhaps to become members of the Catholic Church are encouraged to:
Think as they learn about our faith
Ask what it means to join our community
Learn about what we stand for
Decide whether to become one of us
Prepare to be received
Join the Catholic Community
Participate in the life of the Church
In the Catholic Church we warmly welcome members of all ages and try to provide appropriate spiritual formation to suit each person's needs.
So, if you feel you might like to join the Catholic Church or if you would like to bring a child forward for baptism or if you'd simply like to learn more about the procedures and our faith, please get in touch with any of us above.
