Becoming Catholic
Congratulations on feeling called to learn more about becoming Catholic. The Church has a wonderful process to help you listen to God’s voice in your own life as you consider becoming an intentional disciple of Jesus Christ in the Catholic Church.
The initial process is called “inquiry” and is a way for you to learn more about the Catholic faith without any pressure or expectations. This process is designed to answer your questions, walk together with you in your journey of faith, and help you come to a decision that is right for you as you begin to recognize God’s voice in your life. This talk story phase is intended to be a time for you to inquire and learn more about the Church and the Catholic faith (while inevitably learning more about yourself).
