How do I become Catholic?
To become Catholic one must receive the Sacrament of Baptism, or, if one has already been baptised and wants to join the Catholic Church, a Profession of Faith must be made. Before one is baptized or makes a Profession of Faith, he must be taught the truths and duties of the Faith. If you are interested in finding out more about the Catholic faith or wish to become a Catholic, please contact one of the priests on (02) 9688 4287, or use our on-line form: Contact Us
