Interested in Becoming a Catholic?
Each year it is a privilege and an honor to welcome into our parish new members who have come to know the church through the Rite of Christian Initiation. If you feel attracted to the Catholic faith, if you have wondered about being Catholic, if you have questions about our faith, we invite you to consider joining a parish process to become more familiar with aspects of our life of faith as Catholics, as followers of Jesus Christ.

We are looking to create a new group and hope you or someone you know may be interested. This is also an opportunity for baptized Catholics adults who may be looking to receive the sacraments of First Communion or Confirmation to complete their initiation. Please call the parish office (212-861-8500) and leave a message for Jayne or email her.
