Contact us at (757) 468-3600 to schedule.

SACRAMENT OF INITIATION Born into the Life of Christ Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation incorporate us into the Body of Christ and establish our identity as Catholic Christians. SACRAMENT I Baptism The foundation of the Christian life โ€” the doorway through which we enter the Church. Baptism cleanses us from original sin and gives us our identity as Christians, members of His body, the Church. The Church teaches that infant baptism should be done as soon as possible after birth. Ideally, families will be in touch with the parish around the sixth month of pregnancy in order to complete formation in preparation for this sacrament. ๐Ÿ“ž Contact Deacon Steve Kuczma โ€” deaconsteve@holyspiritvb.org ๐Ÿ• When to Reach Out Around the 6th month of pregnancy Next Step Download the inquiry form, complete, and email to Deacon Steve or drop off at the parish office ๐Ÿ“‹ Email Deacon Steve FILL OUT FORM AT A GLANCE Infant & Adult BOTH CELEBRATED AT HOLY SPIRIT ~6 Months PREPARATION TIME RECOMMENDED Deacon Steve PRIMARY CONTACT FOR BAPTISM โ€œYou were buried with him in baptism and raised with him through faith.โ€ COLOSSIANS 2:12 SACRAMENT II The Holy Eucharist The source and summit of the Christian life โ€” the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Under the appearances of bread and wine, Jesus is made present to us in this sacrifice of love that we enter into at Mass. First Holy Communion typically takes place in 2nd grade through Youth Discipleship, following formation for First Reconciliation. Parents and youth attend formation and retreats. Masses celebrating First Communions take place during the Easter season. Eucharistic Adoration takes place every first Thursday of each month, with Exposition at 12:00 PM and Benediction at 6:00 PM โ€” a time of silent prayer in the loving presence of the Lord. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ First Communion 2nd grade ยท Youth Discipleship program ๐Ÿ› Eucharistic Adoration First Thursday of each month ยท 12:00 PM โ€“ 6:00 PM โœŸ FAITH FORMATION EMAIL ๐Ÿ“š PREP AT A GLANCE Sunday Masses 8 AM ยท 10 AM (LIVE) ยท 12 PM Daily Mass TUE & THU 6:15 PM ยท WED & FRI 8 AM 1st Thursday EUCHARISTIC ADORATION EVERY MONTH โ€œI am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger.โ€ JOHN 6:35 SACRAMENT OF INITIATION Confirmation The grace received at Baptism is strengthened and we are sent more deeply into the Churchโ€™s life and mission.

Wherever you are in your journey โ€” you are welcome here. โœ FIND YOUR PATH ๐Ÿ“ž TALK TO SOMEONE WHERE ARE YOU STARTING? Choose Your Path Your journey to the Catholic faith looks a little different depending on where you are starting. Select the path that best describes your situation. PATH 1 I Have Never Been Baptized You were raised in a non-Christian faith โ€” Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, or another tradition โ€” or you grew up in a Christian household but have never received the Sacrament of Baptism. And now you want to become Catholic. You will receive all three Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist You will journey through the Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (OCIA) A dedicated team at Holy Spirit will walk with you every step of the way โœ LEARN ABOUT OCIA โ†’ PATH 2 I Am a Baptized Christian You were baptized earlier in your life โ€” water was poured on your head or you were immersed in a pool โ€” with the words "I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." You practiced the Christian faith as part of another church community. And now you want to be Catholic. You are already a member of the Body of Christ through your Baptism You are seeking Full Communion with the Catholic Church You will receive Confirmation and First Eucharist to enter Full Communion โ›ช๏ธ LEARN ABOUT FULL COMMUNION โ†’ Watch & Learn Videos to Inspire Your Journey Whether you are just beginning to explore the Catholic faith or are ready to take the next step โ€” these videos are a wonderful starting point for your journey. ๐Ÿ“น WATCH & LEARN UNDERSTANDING THE FAITH What Is a Catholic? A Catholic โ€” or Roman Catholic โ€” is a baptized Christian who shares fully in the life and faith of the Catholic Church. Becoming Catholic is not simply joining an organization โ€” it is entering into a profound relationship with Jesus Christ and His Body, the Church. Have Questions?

Becoming Catholic is not simply joining an organization โ€” it is entering into a profound relationship with Jesus Christ and His Body, the Church. FOR THE UNBAPTIZED Order of Christian Initiation for Adults Formerly known as RCIA The path to Baptism involves a beautiful process of discernment and formation called the Order of Christian Initiation for Adults โ€” OCIA. This is your journey into the Catholic faith, walking alongside a dedicated team who will accompany you every step of the way toward Baptism, Confirmation, and First Eucharist. LEARN MORE โ†’ PATH 1 โ€” NOT YET BAPTIZED Inquiry You come with your questions and curiosity. No commitment โ€” just conversation. We listen and walk with you as you explore. Catechumenate You learn the Catholic faith through Scripture, prayer, and the Catechism alongside a sponsor and the OCIA team. Purification & Enlightenment The final preparation before Easter โ€” a time of deeper prayer, fasting, and readiness to receive the Sacraments. Mystagogy After receiving Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist at the Easter Vigil, you reflect on the mysteries of the faith you have received. PATH 2 โ€” BAPTIZED CHRISTIAN Entering Full Communion As a baptized Christian, you are already a member of the Body of Christ. Although you do not yet share full communion with the Catholic Church, your baptismal dignity gives you certain rights in the assembly of the baptized. A WORD OF WELCOME You Already Belong to Christ If you join us for Mass, you have a place with us as we listen to the Word of God proclaimed and preached. You may also take a place among us during the Liturgy of the Eucharist, but should not approach the Table to receive Communion until you are formally received into full communion with us. โ›ช๏ธ During Mass You are welcome to attend Mass and sit with us during the Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of the Eucharist. Please remain in your seat and do not approach to receive Communion until you have been formally received into full communion. This is not unwelcome โ€” it is simply the Church honoring the significance of what you are preparing to receive. What Is Full Communion? Full communion is a term that expresses our sharing in three significant aspects of life as Catholic Christians. 01 Profession of the Same Faith We share the same profession of the Christian faith, enshrined in the Apostles' Creed or the Nicene Creed, which we proclaim publicly at Sunday Mass. Many Christian communities already profess one or both of these creeds regularly. 02 The Sacraments Full communion includes receiving the Sacraments of the Catholic Church โ€” especially the Eucharist โ€” which are the source and summit of Catholic life. You will receive Confirmation and First Communion when you are formally received. 03 Apostolic Governance We share the same profession of the Christian faith, enshrined in the Apostles' Creed or the Nicene Creed, which we proclaim publicly at Sunday Mass. Many Christian communities already profess one or both of these creeds regularly. THE PROFESSION OF FAITH The Nicene Creed Proclaimed at every Sunday Mass, the Nicene Creed is the shared profession of faith that unites all Catholic Christians. As a new Catholic or one entering full communion, this becomes your public declaration of faith. I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen WATCH & LEARN Videos to Inspire Your Journey Whether you are just beginning to explore the Catholic faith or are ready to take the next step โ€” these videos are a wonderful starting point for your journey.
