Becoming a Catholic

The way that our faith community prepares, welcomes and receives adults in the Catholic Church. Perhaps you or someone you know is considering becoming Catholic or would like to become Catholic but is unsure how to get started. I invite you in the name of Holy Trinity Parish to contact the parish office if you are considering the journey of faith provided to you by joining the RCIA.

Each year in parishes throughout the country, men and women who are seeking to journey in faith and with local Catholic community gather together for what has come to be known as the RICA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults), of the "Catechurnenate."

Persons participating in the RICA come from a variety of backgrounds. Many have been baptized and have had little or no acquintance with the Catholic Church. Others are Christians who have been baptized in another denomination. In many cases, they have been attracted to the Catholic Church by friends or spouse whose life has witnessed the love of God.

If you or someone you know are interested in the RICA program, or if you would like to explore questions about the Catholic Church, sort out your beliefs and assumptions about others, self, church, faith; or become acquainted with others who are searching, please call Msgr. Provenza at (318) 221-5990 or you may email him at, This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
