Already a baptized Christian, but curious about becoming Catholic? Maybe you were baptized Catholic, but never taught about your Faith. Where do you go from here? Watch our episode to find out how to be fully initiated into the Catholic Church, and what steps to take as someone who is already baptized.
“How to Become Catholic: Already Baptized” examines what becoming Catholic looks like for someone who is already a baptized Christian. While baptized persons are already part of the Church’s family, the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) offers formation and instruction in the Catholic Faith, adapted for people who have already been baptized. This episode covers what that process looks like, leading you to receiving the other Sacraments of Initiation.
Whether you’re coming from another Christian tradition or hoping to learn more about your Catholic Faith, the Church is here to support you in your journey. And if you’re just starting out, begin with our series on How to Become Catholic!
