However, those who are interested in becoming fully initiated into the Church (Baptism, Confirmation and Communion) or would like to "convert" to Catholicism will have the opportunity this Fall. More information coming soon. Email Fr. Joe if you are interested.
The 2019 RCIA (last year's) workbook is available here for those who are interested in some home study.
