This process focuses primarily on adults, unbaptized or baptized, who are interested in becoming Catholic. OCIA helps adults grow in their relationship with God, learn Catholic teachings and practices, receive Sacramental preparation, get acquainted with people in the parish, and receive Sacraments to enter into the fullness of the Catholic faith. To inquire about OCIA and join the program, please fill out the inquiry form below. For more information please email the Director of Youth & Adult Formation at lschaad@stbridgetofsweden.org.

Family and parentingThe family is called to be a domestic church and to live our lives liturgically. 52 Sundays is a free online, dynamic guide to help create liturgical living and support your domestic church. Developed by the Archdiocese of Detroit, 52 Sundays guides you to reclaim the Lord's Day with prayer, activities, food, and more! Check out their website for the Sunday Readings, prayers, recipes, challenges, conversation starters and more. Happy Liturgical Living!
Beyond Sunday Podcast is a podcast for parents and spouses who wish to learn more and implement Sunday liturgical living in their everyday lives. The demands of our different roles as Catholic spouse, parents, and working parents, can sometimes derail even the best of intentions quickly. This podcast discusses how parents can be more intentional in recognizing God at work in our lives, and how we as families can go deeper into our relationship with Him. Join Nicole and Rakhi each week as they talk, laugh, cry about their experiences in striving to weave Sunday experience into the everyday moments of our lives.
