The Catholic Community is made up of members who become Catholic in one of three ways. First, most are born into Catholic families and learn and participate in the Faith as they grow up. Second, some are baptized into another Christian church and enter the Catholic Church through a solemn profession of faith. Third, some have had no prior affiliation and are not baptized; these enter a process leading to joining the Catholic Church through baptism.

The process that takes these last two to membership is through Adult Faith Formation. At St. Clement the "We Believe" series fulfills this formation. The process is concerned with the total formation of the person leading to full participation through baptism, confirmation and Eucharist. The Catholic Church welcomes new members; indeed, we feel we are commanded by Jesus Christ to share our faith with others.

Do not hesitate if you are interested. We encourage you to pray about this decision. You will be greeted with enthusiasm; your freedom of conscience will always be respected; and we think you will find your time amply rewarded.
