There are five learning periods or stages one must complete before being received into the Roman Catholic Church as a member. These stages are explained in the sections below.
 

Inquiry

What is the Catholic Church?
Who are we?

In the Inquiry phase, we gather as a group, from many different backgrounds.  The team will guide you through several topics to introduce you to the Catholic Church and our parish here at St. Patrick's.  We will try and answer your questions about the faith and the Church to the best of our ability.  We will try and give you a witness of why we are so convinced of God's love for us. The sessions are titled as follows:

• Welcome/Introductions/Journey of Faith
• What do Catholics believe?
• Places in the Church
• What is the meaning of the Mass
• The Bible
• How do Catholics interpret the Bible?
• The saints and Mary
• Catholics and prayer
• Catholic practices
• Who's who in the Church
