Thinking about becoming Catholic?
Everyone needs a family! The support and love one receives from a family gives life meaning, direction, and hope. The Catholic Family, for more than 20 centuries has attempted to follow the footsteps of the Lord Jesus in bringing God's eternal love to the world. Have you ever thought of becoming Catholic or do you know someone who has expressed interest in becoming a Catholic? We are currently preparing to begin our next session that will run from Sept 2026 through March 2027, culminating at the Easter Vigil on March 27. Reach out to Father Jose for more information! josekjohn@rcdony.org or to Gin Shaw, OCIA Lead: renewal@stagneslp.org
