Interested in Becoming Catholic or know someone who is?

Have you been worshiping with us, but never officially took the step to become Catholic?​

Have you been away from the church… and have now returned, but want to know more?

Have you been a Catholic all your life, but not celebrated all of the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Eucharist, Confirmation)?

Have you been a Catholic all your life, but still need to know some of the fundamentals
of our faith?

Have you joined us from a different background and would now like to find out more about the Catholic Church?
 

If any of the above questions apply to you, we would love to help you in your journey! Or, if you know of anyone who could answer YES to any of the above questions, perhaps you could extend them an invitation to learn more.
 

Please join us for a “come and see” meeting about the RCIA ("Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults"*) on Wednesday September 11, 2024 at 7 p.m. at St. Vincent Ferrer Church in the Jaspers Room (7754 Montgomery Road, 45236). We then welcome you to weekly classes beginning Wednesday, September 18th, 2024 and continuing for nine months thereafter. 

To learn more about this important faith formation process, please contact Fr. Tom at father@svfchurch.org or call Carolyn Caperton at the Parish Office, 513-792-4601.

We look forward to meeting you!

*RCIA is the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. It is a process by which a person becomes initiated into the full sacramental life of the Catholic Church through weekly instruction. The RCIA is changing names later this year in 2024 and will now be known as the “Order of Christian Initiation of Adults”, or OCIA. Among other things, this new OCIA ritual book broadens the name to include the entire spiritual process, and reflects that the Catholic journey is a continual, lifelong commitment. The Archdiocese website notes that “First use [of the ritual book] is possible on December 1, 2024, and the National Statutes will take effect. Use of this ritual book is mandatory beginning Ash Wednesday, March 5, 2025.” For more detailed information about the content of the OCIA/RCIA, you can go to https://resources.catholicaoc.org/divineworship-and-sacraments/news/ocia
