OCIA

If you happen to have Catholic friends, you could ask them to suggest a good Catholic parish in your area. When you receive a recommendation, visit with the pastor and see about participating in Mass as a non-Catholic.

If you live in or around the Baton Rouge area, we sincerely encourage you to call the CTK office for details.
