You don’t have to be ready or have all the answers, you just have to be willing to take a look. Whether you’re new to Catholicism or looking to reconnect and go deeper in your faith, OCIA at ICSJ is a welcoming place to explore the Catholic faith through prayer, conversation, and honest questions. Join us for monthly small group gatherings. To learn more, contact Jutta Keenan or visit our OCIA page.
