C2BC RETREAT - CHOOSING TO BE CATHOLIC
Dates: OCTOBER 24-26, 2025
LaSalette Retreat Center
Attleboro, MA
Why do you choose to be Catholic?
In the craziness of life, it doesn’t hurt to pause to discover more about yourself, your faith, and how it fits into the big picture.
Find out why other young adults choose to be Catholic; learn how faith plays a role in their journeys; and take the time to reflect on your own path.
WELCOME TO THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
Congratulations to our Neophytes from St Mary’s, Newman Catholic Community and UMass Dartmouth, who received the Sacraments of Initiation at the Easter Vigil through our OCIA Process. You have become members of the Body of Christ - may Our Risen Lord bless you abundantly as you continue to grow as His disciples, nourished by the grace of the Sacraments! Welcome home!
If you are interested in discerning your own journey of faith or in learning more about becoming Catholic or getting confirmed, please contact Deacon Frank at flucca@umassd.edu.
