Baptism - For Children 

For adults wishing to become Catholic: The Church outlines steps, which we refer to as RCIA, that are designed to help interested adults to fully respond to God's graces by preparing them for union with the Church community and forming them into the fullness of Christian life as a disciple of Jesus. Anyone interested in becoming Catholic (inquirers), and their sponsors (practicing Catholics that accompany inquirers on the journey) from Holy Spirit Parish, meet together to explore the Gospel and the teachings of the Catholic Church. You can read more about these steps by clicking the button below.
