Thinking about becoming Catholic? 

St. Stephen the Martyr offers a year- round process that invites interested individuals to begin inquiry into the Catholic Church at any time of the year. To better  meet the needs of the people we have two processes for inquiry of the Catholic Church. An initial interview with a Ministry leader will help discern whether our abbreviated process (Ministry to the Baptized) or the fuller catechumenal (RCIA) process is appropriate.                     

  

Ministry to the Baptized
We recognize that not all who seek to become members of our Catholic tradition require full participation in our Catechumenate (RCIA) process. Therefore, we have a process available to those who have already been baptized in a Christian Church and have had a significant level of involvement in the church, as well as religious instruction and spiritual formation.  For more information please contact Deacon Jerry and Debi Kozney at 895-7435.            

Catechumenate (RCIA)
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is the process through which unbaptized adults are initiated into the Catholic Church. In addition, baptized adults who have not had significant involvement in the church or in religious and spiritual formation share a similar journey in the RCIA process as they prepare for full initiation or to be received into full communion. How do I get started in RCIA?
