The OCIA program at Cathedral is not a one-size-fits all program. The process for becoming Catholic will begin with a one-on-one meeting with the OCIA director. Together, we will discern God's call for you and determine the next steps. The length of time it will take to be fully initiated into the Catholic Church may vary depending on a person's situation and faith journey. Fill out the information form below to start the conversation. For more infomormation about the OCIA program, reach out to Kristi Munzing at 337-232-1322 or [email protected] 

God, infinitely perfect and blessed in himself, in a plan of sheer goodness freely created man to make him share in his own blessed life. For this reason, at every time and in every place, God draws close to man. He calls man to seek him, to know him, to love him with all his strength. He calls together all men, scattered and divided by sin, into the unity of his family, the Church. To accomplish this, when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son as Redeemer and Saviour. In his Son and through him, he invites men to become, in the Holy Spirit, his adopted children and thus heirs of his blessed life.
