Becoming Catholic

The Adventure of a Lifetime

Are you interested in learning more about the Catholic Church?

St. Norbert and Our Lady of the Brook Parish invites you to find out about Jesus and the Church He founded.  Come learn His teachings and discover how to put these teachings into practice by living in a Catholic community, through worship, prayer and service.


The Church has a formal process for those who want to become Catholic called RCIA, or the Rite of Christian Initiation.  The formation process prepares people to become Catholic and receive the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist).

This process is open to all people, regardless of religious background or philosophical persuasion, who seek to live their lives in the Catholic Christian faith.  If you're interested, you'll attend a series of sessions, usually beginning in the fall, where you'll learn Catholic doctrine and become familiar with Catholic tradition, and how to view the world through a Catholic lens.
