Then John's two disciples turned and followed Jesus. Jesus looked around and saw them following. "What do you want?" he asked them. They replied, "Rabbi" (which means Teacher), "where are you staying?" "Come and see," he said. . . and they stayed there the rest of the day.. . (John 1: 35-39) 

God calls each person to grow in faith, and He does so in unique and different ways. Some people are drawn by an insatiable curiosity to learn about the things of God. Other people are attracted by the deep faith of family or friends. Still others sense a void in their lives and are searching for meaning and fulfillment that only God can bring.

Inquiry Group

Facilitated by an Initiation Team member, the Inquiry Group meets weekly and is built around the questions and needs of the participants. In an informal setting, Inquirers are able to ask questions and become acquainted with the story of Jesus, the history of his Church, Catholic tradition and teachings. The Inquiry period lasts as long as each person needs it to last, from a few weeks to years, if necessary.

For persons to enter the Initiation Process, they must have come to faith in Jesus Christ and sincerely desire to become members of the Catholic Church. They then gather with the Catholic community on Sundays for the first part of the Mass. The initial conversion is deepened. This period, too, lasts as long as the person needs it to last, from a few months to several years, if necessary. For the unbaptized, this phase must normally last one full year.
