Life has a purpose. Explore the depths of that purpose and what it means for you. 

We invite you to watch The Search with us; it’s a beautiful new video series that explores life’s biggest questions—combining science and faith (and philosophy, art, and testimony)!

Beginning on Wednesday, July 31 at 6:30 PM, we are offering a 4-session series in which we will watch the video episodes of The Search, and after each video have small group discussion. 

We’ll explore fundamental questions and mysteries like… 

• What Do You Seek?
• Who Are You?
• Why a God?
• What’s Our Story?
• Who Is Jesus?
• Am I Saved?
• Why a Church?

The Search features scientists, artists, philosophers, and other people from all walks of life sharing how their searches for meaning in life led them to Jesus and the Gospel.

Who is this for?

-If you’re feeling unsure about God, faith, the Church, it’s for you. 

-If your faith is already solid, The Search will help you to deepen it or know what to talk about with other non-believers. 

-If you’re worried about your kids or grandkids, it’s a great series for you to share with them—by bringing them along!

After The Search, you might ask “Is OCIA for me?”

The OCIA process is a time of exploration and is intended for three groups of people: 

• Unbaptized adults, 
• Baptized Christians from other denominations, and 
• Non-confirmed Catholics or those who have not received first Holy Eucharist. 

If I’m interested, what do I need to do?

The OCIA process will start with The Search on July 31. This will be followed by an exploration of The Creed that we pray every Sunday that will begin on Wednesday, August 28. There will be retreats, rites, and many topics covered. The entire process will end after Easter Sunday. The time needed to be prepared to join the Church depends on your faith level and readiness to receive the sacraments.
