Our Parishes

When people search for a Catholic church near them or wonder how to join the Catholic Church, they are often seeking more than information—they are seeking welcome. Our parishes exist to be places where anyone exploring Christianity, becoming Christian, or

discerning the Catholic faith feels received with patience, compassion, and respect.

Basilian communities emphasize accompaniment—walking with individuals and families through life’s questions, joys, and struggles. This includes welcoming parents preparing for infant baptism, adults entering the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA or OCIA), and those returning to the Church after time away.

Goodness also means selfless service, supporting families, and fostering inclusive parish life across generations, cultures, and backgrounds.

Discipline gives structure, depth, and continuity to Catholic life within Basilian parishes.

Through the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, faith formation programs, baptism preparation, and ongoing catechesis, Basilian parishes provide intentional guidance rooted in the traditions of the Catholic Church.

Families preparing to baptize a child into the Catholic Church benefit from clear expectations, meaningful preparation, and pastoral care that helps them live their faith beyond the ceremony. Adults becoming Catholic or returning to the Church find consistency through regular Mass times, confession, spiritual direction, and parish rhythms that anchor daily life. This same discipline forms future leaders of the Church.

Many people searching for how to become Christian or what Catholics believe desire understanding, not just tradition.

Basilian parishes respond by offering robust education for all ages—helping individuals learn about the Catholic faith, Scripture, sacraments, and moral life in a way that is accessible and intellectually honest.

Adults entering RCIA, parents preparing for baptism, and those exploring becoming Catholic encounter teaching grounded in Church tradition and informed by reason. Knowledge empowers parishioners to live their faith confidently—whether explaining Catholic beliefs to others, discerning their vocation, or engaging thoughtfully with modern culture.
