OCIA - ORDER OF CHRISTIAN INITIATON FOR ADULTS
Adult faith formation
​
Our faith journey is enhanced through adulthood by expanding our understanding of Scripture and Sacred Tradition as it applies to our daily lives.
Are you interested in exploring becoming Catholic? Or in completing your Sacraments of Initiation – First Eucharist or Confirmation?
The OCIA process includes a program of preparation, August through Pentecost. Sessions focus on Scripture, teachings of the Church, prayer, and fostering a personal relationship with Christ through the community of the Church.
​
OCIA is for:
-
An adult who has never been Baptized (Catechumen) who desires to become Catholic.
-
An adult who is already baptized in another Christian church (Candidate) who now seeks to enter into full communion with the Catholic Church.
-
An adult who was baptized Catholic who has not had the opportunity to celebrate the Sacrament of Eucharist and/or Confirmation.
​
We invite those who are inquiring about the faith to contact our Director of Religious Education, or one of our coordinators of OCIA/RICA to discuss more about any question and the process.
