The heart of our faith is not a theory, but a person: Jesus Christ. In the Catholic Church, we discover a living relationship with Him through Scripture, prayer, community, and the Sacraments. You don’t have to have it all figured out — this is a place to ask questions, find meaning, and take your next step.
Thinking about becoming Catholic? Whether you’re feeling a quiet curiosity or a deep call, we’d love to help you explore the next step at your own pace.
It all starts with a conversation — no pressure, no expectations — just a chance to ask questions and share your story.
We offer a relaxed course that introduces the key beliefs, practices, and beauty of the Catholic faith, with space for discussion and reflection.
If and when you’re ready, you’ll be welcomed into the Church through the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Communion at a special celebration.
It begins with a simple conversation—no pressure, no expectations—just an opportunity to ask questions and share your story.
Our gatherings provide a supportive environment where you can share experiences, deepen your faith, and build lasting relationships.
All are welcome. Please let us know if you're joining so we can cater for you!
Seek to provide practical support and fellowship to the local community.
