The ORDER OF Christian Initiation for Adults (FORMELY KNOWN AS RCIA)| Become Catholic
The OCIA Journey:
The Order of Christian Initiation for Adults is an opportunity for those who have an interest in the Catholic faith to come and discover the truths and teachings of the Church.
OCIA is typically a year long process that prepares individuals to receive the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and First Communion at the Easter Vigil. Through the OCIA program, participants are given a period of time to study, pray and reflect on the teachings of the Catholic Church through small group discussion and fellowship. Through this journey each participant makes a commitment one step at a time leading up to the Easter Vigil where the Sacraments of Initiation are received.
Whether you or your child or teen is:
Seeking Baptism for the first time
A baptized non-Catholic Christian desiring to become Catholic
A baptized Catholic adult in need of First Communion and/or Confirmation
Classes are every Wednesday night from 6:30pm to 7:45pm in our Parish Community Center. Start date Wednesday October 2, 2024. We are here to support you on your journey! For more information, please contact the Parish Office.
