Through this sacramental, spiritual, and educational process, the Church initiates people seeking to become Catholic from a variety of backgrounds. These include non-baptized adults and children of cathechetical age as well as those baptized in another Christian church. In all cases, our goal is to reach out to those who are looking for a spiritual home in the Catholic faith. The process begins with "evenings of inquiry" in which participants openly discuss issues and questions pertaining to Catholic life and faith. Those who choose to embrace the Catholic Church typically celebrate the sacraments of Baptism (for those not already baptized), Confirmation and Eucharist at the Easter Vigil.
