Initiation of Adults
Adults who are interested in the Catholic faith and wish to become members of the Catholic Church, are invited to contact the parish office to arrange a personal meeting with the Pastor. The preparation for Christian initiation (Baptism, Confirmation and the Eucharist) includes weekly meetings (beginning in September and concluding shortly after Easter), and attendance at the Sunday Eucharist, which is the heart of a Catholic way of life. Our Initial Meeting will take place at St. Joseph Parish Hall on Wednesday, September 30, 2026, beginning at 7:00 p.m.
The formation for Adult Initiation takes place as a collaborate ministry of St. Joseph Parish, Canadian Martyrs Parish and the Cathedral Basilica Parish. Meetings are held on Wednesday evenings from 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. The associated rites are celebrated in the respective parishes.
For adults already Baptized in other Christian Churches, an adapted process of formation is offered. Reception into the Full Communion of the Catholic Church and Confirmation is celebrated at an agreed upon time. Adults who have been baptized in other Christian churches who wish to become Roman Catholic are invited to join the non-baptized for all or part of this period of formation.
