Discover the Catholic Church through the OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation of Adults) at St. Dominic Catholic Church! Our welcoming and supportive environment is open to all unbaptized adults.

Our knowledgeable and experienced team of instructors and mentors are committed to helping you grow in your knowledge and understanding of the Catholic faith. We cover a wide range of topics, including the sacraments, Scripture, prayer, Catholic social teaching, and more. Our goal is to prepare you to receive the sacraments of initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist) if you so choose.

Join us at St. Dominic Catholic Church to deepen your relationship with God and discover the richness and beauty of our Catholic tradition. Our community of fellow seekers will journey with you, share their experiences, and offer encouragement and support along the way.

OCIA meets September through May at Wednesday Church Night in our Community Center, from 6:30-7:30pm.

To join the class, please reach out to Margaret Rogers at margaret@saintdominicpc.com

We are excited to walk with you on your journey of faith!

Evangelize

Not everyone is called to become a foster parent, but everyone is called to love vulnerable children and families.

Every child and every family is made in the image and likeness of God. Caring for vulnerable children and supporting struggling families is a work of mercy and an expression of the Gospel.

We as a parish recognize the great need for foster families and children to be supported and loved. We hope to encourage parishioners to consider becoming certified to provide foster care, to care for those providing foster care, and to grow in awareness of the hardships of so many children in our community.

Encounter

The Discipleship Pathway is a set of purposeful steps the parish gives to adults to help us live out our Parish Mission: to Encounter Christ, be formed as Missionary Disciples, and Evangelize others. While there are many offerings and ministries at the parish, these specific steps are in place to intentionally help us move from seekers, to believers, to active missionaries, on-fire with the Gospel of Christ and dauntless in bringing Jesus and His Church to our homes, our work, our friends, and our communities.

While anyone can jump in anywhere, the goal of the pathway is movement: where we begin is not where we should end!

Encounter Christ

Perpetual Adoration: Our 24/7/365 All Saints Adoration Chapel is the engine of our parish. Day and night, someone is before our Lord, interceding for our homes, our parish, and our community. All are invited to come spend time with Jesus, truly Present in the Eucharist, in the Adoration Chapel. We especially encourage all parishioners to sign up for a weekly Holy Hour, and commit to spending an hour each week in silent prayer before our Blessed Lord.

OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation for Adults): Our OCIA class is for all unbaptized adults 18+ who are interested in learning about the Catholic faith and considering becoming Catholic. OCIA meets on Wednesdays from September - May from 6:30-7:30 at Wednesday Church Night.

Catholicism 101: We believe the Catholic Church contains the fullness of the Christian faith and all the gifts that God wants to give to you, His beloved child. Whether you have never stepped foot in a Catholic Church, you used to be Catholic, you are Catholic but haven't completed receiving sacraments, or you are a lifelong Catholic who wants to learn how to defend your faith, you are most welcome!  Catholicism 101 meets on Wednesdays from September - May from 6:30-7:30 at Wednesday Church Night.

Be Formed as a Missionary Disciple

Catholicism 201: After encountering Christ, the story of salvation, and the reasons for our Catholic faith in Catholicism 101, Catholicism 201 is for those ready to dive deeper, exploring the depths of our faith and learning to be transformed as missionary disciples of Jesus. This is our "deep dive," engaging topics such as The Great Adventure Bible Timeline, The Catechism of the Catholic Church in a Year, The School of the Saints, and other topics that help set us on fire in faith and prepare us to live it out. Catholicism 201 meets on Wednesdays from September - May from 6:30-7:30 at Wednesday Church Night.

Evangelize Others

Catholicism 301: As Christians, we can often get stuck in "receive mode," where we endlessly glean more information (which is good!) but never share it with anyone else. At Saint Dominic, we believe that every single one of us was born in this time, in this place, to be on Mission with Jesus and help bring others to Him. If we believe that Jesus saves and heals and transforms and redeems us, then what should prevent us from sharing this with those who are lost, broken, and facing the struggles of life without the Good News of salvation, or without the Sacraments which pour God's very Life into our souls? Catholicism 301 exists to help us learn how to share our faith, and support us as we put it into practice. Catholicism 301 meets on Sundays between the morning English Masses June -July and mid-December - mid-January, to prepare and equip disciples to listen well, to have great conversations about faith with others, and to invite others into the pathway. Our 301 parishioners come to Wednesday Church Night on mission, walking with men and women in OCIA, in Catholicism 101, and as Table Hosts in Catholicism 201. The goal of this portion of the pathway is to be sent out so we can bring other people into the first steps of the pathway. This is designed to be multiplicative: we're either going through the pathway to learn for ourselves, or we are accompanying someone else through it.

OCIA, Catholicism 101, and Catholicism 201 meet from 6:30-7:30pm in English and Spanish at Wednesday Church Night, which runs from September through May.

Catholicism 301 meets during the summer and between Semester 1 and Semester 2 of Wednesday Church Night; 301 parishioners are deployed to Wednesday Church Night while it is in session to support and accompany those attending OCIA, Catholicism 101, and Catholicism 201.

“The Church cannot but encourage everything that serves in harmoniously developing the human body. It is rightly considered the masterpiece of the whole of creation, not only because of its proportion, strength, and beauty, but also and especially because God has made it His dwelling place and the instrument of an immortal soul, breathing into it that "breath of life" by which man is made in His image and likeness." – St. John Paul II

Futsal (Indoor Soccer) - Thursdays 7-8:30pm

Do you have a love for soccer? A desire to play without weather inference? Futsal or indoor soccer is your answer.

A futsal pitch (field) is smaller, so players interact with the ball (including playing it off the wall) more which demands a higher intensity level throughout the game.

- Each team consists of 5-6 players, including a goalie.

- Please wear athletic shoes, NO CLEATS.

- Please no food or non-water beverages. Please enter using the outside double doors, instead of going through the main hall (in case of other events).

Youth Futsal Training (Indoor Soccer) - Fridays 5-6:30pm

Futsal is a great way for children to stay active and healthy. It's a fast-paced, 5v5 version of soccer played indoors on a hard court, typically basketball-sized. Futsal requires quick reflexes, agility, and endurance, making it an excellent form of exercise for kids.

Who: 8-13 year old boys and girls

Cost: $5 per session

- In gym before class begins:  Credit card or Cash or

- Saint Dominic parish office:  Mon - Thurs 8:30 am-2:30 pm, please arrange to prior to class.

- Here's a few options for the ball - https://a.co/d/0gYrteVI or https://a.co/d/0072DCvs

Why do you need a specific ball? A futsal ball is smaller, heavier, and has significantly less bounce than a traditional soccer ball, engineered specifically to stay low and facilitate close control on hard court surfaces.

Contact Nicole Neumann at nicole@saintdominicpc.com for any registration and payment questions.
