Living and Teaching Our Catholic Faith
Easter Vigil Reflection by Hannah Klaus
At the Easter Vigil in 2025, through the dedication of 12 members who walked with inquirers over nine months, Old St. Pat's welcomed our new members. The program invites seekers to explore the Catholic faith at their own pace through prayer, learning, and community. Member Hannah Klaus described Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) as a"welcoming and wonderful experience that revitalized her faith in God."
