Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA)

The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) is a series of weekly gatherings open to those seeking to draw closer to Jesus Christ by learning more about the Catholic faith. People are invited to enter into a faith journey to discover whether God is calling them to become Catholic. OCIA is also open to anyone, Catholic or otherwise, who would simply like to know more about the church's teachings. The sessions prepare adults for the sacraments of initiation, which can include Baptism, Communion, and Confirmation. These sacraments are celebrated at the Easter Vigil, the Saturday night before Easter Sunday.
 
Just because you start OCIA, doesn't mean you are committed to finishing. If you are merely curious about what Catholicism is, please feel free to come. All are welcome.
 
Who is the OCIA for?
Persons in need of Baptism; Persons baptized in another Christian faith but interested in becoming Catholic; Persons baptized Catholic in need of First Communion and/or Confirmation
