CURIOUS ABOUT CATHOLICISM?

You don’t have to have all the answers. Just bring your questions!

Have you ever wondered what Catholics really believe? Thinking about becoming Catholic? Interested in returning to the Church? Need to receive Confirmation or First Communion as an adult?

You're invited.

-  Catholics returning to the practice of their faith.
-  Anyone searching for a deeper relationship with God.

What to Expect:
-  Friendly conversation
-  Honest answers to your questions
-  A welcoming community
