Becoming Catholic
Education of the faith begins at home in the "Domestic Church". The parents are the primary teachers of faith.
St. Stephen First Martyr Catholic Church (SSFM) provides opportunities for each person to receive the Sacraments and grow in greater communion with our Lord.
SSFM offers Faith Formation classes for grades Kindergarten thru 8th grade, teens, Vacation Bible School (VBS), and adult retreats as well as OCIA to help foster a growing faith.
To teach the Catholic Faith, our programs are built and grounded on the Four Pillars of the Catholic Faith:
1. Creed
2. Liturgy and Sacraments
3. Commandments and
4. Prayer
What is OCIA?
The Order of Christian Initiation for Adults, or OCIA, is a communal process for formal initiation of new members into the Catholic Church. This process is a return to the formation of the earliest members of the Church in the first and second centuries.
