Convert Program
Our Adult Catechism course is a spiritual journey for many different people at various places in their lives:
- Converts: people who want to become Catholic Christians, whether baptized or not
- Reverts: Catholics who want to return to the Catholic Church or complete their sacraments
- Introverts: Catholics who want to grow more deeply in appreciating their Catholic Christian Faith
- Extroverts: Catholics who want to learn how to share their Faith more confidently with others
Even if you do not fit into any of these groups of people, you are most welcome to attend anyway. Please join us!
