BECOMING CATHOLIC

  • We welcome most warmly anyone who is considering becoming Catholic at any degree of interest!  We fully understand that some have been pondering this question for many years and have reached a point in life when they find themselves wholeheartedly ready to commit.

Others come forward with some degree of hesitancy or curiosity and just seek more information as they try to make an informed decision about full membership in the Catholic Church.
​
Wherever you find yourself, please feel free to contact:
  • Fr. Christopher DiTomo at (847) 669-3137, ext. 106
  • Shirley Allen, Director of Adult Faith Formation, at (224) 654-8596

​St. Mary Parish has a program called  “ Why Catholicism?’ (For those seeking to enter the Catholic Church or complete Sacraments") . Please call/e-mail with any questions/comments/concerns you might have, and please know of our prayers for you as you discern God’s will in your life. To learn more about the program click here.
If you were not married in the Catholic Church or one spouse has been divorced please click here to see how to amend those situations.
