Adult faith formation allows us to actively learn and live Jesus’ call by equipping adults to deepen our relationship with Jesus and to share our faith as disciples. This includes bible study groups, but so much more…it involves creating opportunities to meet people where they are in their relationship with Christ.

AGES: Adults.

TIME COMMITMENT: Weekly, monthly, and one-time opportunities throughout the year.

Considering the Catholic Church?

If you’ve felt drawn to the beauty of the Mass or a deeper relationship with God, the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) may be your next step.

OCIA is a welcoming process for adults who wish to explore the Catholic faith — whether you're unbaptized, baptized in another Christian tradition, or a Catholic seeking to complete your Sacraments.

Our program at Holy Name, St. Dominic, and St. Clement Parishes occurs all year. Sessions include prayer, Scripture, and engaging discussions on Catholic teaching and life.

Let’s start the conversation. Reach out to our OCIA coordinator at Kym Leibham at 920-458-5390 or email leibhamk@sheboygannorthparishes.org. More information can be found on the Becoming Catholicpage.

AGES: 18 and older

TIME COMMITMENT: OCIA sessions are held on the second and fourth Sundays, beginning in September, from 9:00–10:15 a.m., followed by Mass at 10:30 a.m.
