Sacramental Preparation

OCIA: Becoming Catholic
Each semester, the Thomas Merton Institute runs courses for those interested in becoming Catholic, both for those who are not yet Christian as well as for baptized Christians who are interested in being received into full Communion with the Catholic Church. They are received into the Church normally during Advent as well as during the Easter Season. For more information, please contact Father John.

Sacramental Preparation
Each semester, the Merton Institute runs programs for baptized Catholic students who have not yet received all the Sacraments of Initiation, including Confession, First Communion, and Confirmation. They normally receive these Sacraments in Advent or in the Easter Season. For more information, please contact Father John Wilson.

Wedding & Marriage Prep
The Thomas Merton Institute works with students to connect them with marriage preparation opportunities, whether they are planning to marry at Notre Dame Church, at St. Paul’s Chapel, or elsewhere.
