OCIA
Are You Interested in Becoming Catholic?
Or are you curious about the Catholic Faith? Then OCIA is for you!
​
​
What is OCIA?
The Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (OCIA) is a journey of faith where you can:
-
Learn about the Catholic Church
-
Grow in your relationship with Christ
-
If you choose, receive the Sacraments of Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation at the Easter Vigil
OCIA is more than a program—it’s a spiritual journey experienced in community but unique to you.
​
Who Is OCIA For?
Everyone!
​
Non-Catholics​
For those who are not Catholic, baptized or not. Come, learn, ask questions, no commitment required. If you decide, you can prepare to receive Baptism, Confirmation, and Communion.
​
Catholics
For Catholics who have not received Eucharist or Confirmation. Discover the grace and strength of these sacraments in your life.
​
If your child is over 7 years old and needs Baptism, we have the Rite of Christian Initiation adapted for Children (RCIaC).
​
Those Who Want to Grow
For Catholics who wish to deepen their understanding of the faith or support someone seeking it.
