Welcome to Christian Initiation
Christian Initiation is for individuals seeking a welcoming community, answers about faith and life, Bible study, and an introduction to Jesus and the richness of Catholic Christianity. No preparation or commitment to become Catholic is required, and you are welcome to come with questions or quietly observe if you wish. Christian Initiation collaborates with all Chippewa Catholic parishes.
The Impact of Christian Initiation
Over 40 people have journeyed through Christian Initiation since 2022. See what they are saying!
"Christian Initiation helped me grow closer to Jesus...it’s a great experience to go through with great people and it makes you feel so joyful!" - Dakota, initiated in '24 to Notre Dame
"I feel much closer to God and the Church. My family is embracing the Lord together and I love it. We pray together and go to Mass together." Kelsey, initiated in '22 to St. Charles
"My husband and I truly enjoyed all of our [Christian] initiation classes! [The teachers made] it easy and fun to learn all the things Catholic and Jesus... It gave us a better understanding of the faith and how to connect and maintain a relationship with Jesus." - Maria, initiated in '24 to Holy Ghost

Christian Initiation is also for people who indeed intend to become Catholic! This process is "family friendly" and includes both adults (18+) and children (ages 7-17) to embark on this "pilgrimage of faith" with dozens of other people in the Chippewa area.
