Becoming a Catholic (OCIA)

OCIA stands for the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (formerly RCIA), is a process that prepares individuals who are interested in becoming members of the Catholic Church.

The OCIA process is designed to provide individuals with an understanding of the Catholic faith, its traditions, and practices. This process is for those who are unbaptized, those baptized in other Christian traditions, and those baptized Catholic but have not received First Communion or Confirmation. The program includes education on Catholic teachings, participation in the liturgical life of the Church, and a period of discernment.

The OCIA program at our parish is a welcoming community that seeks to foster a deeper relationship with Christ and encourage individuals to grow in their faith. We invite all those who are interested in learning more about the Catholic Church to join us on this journey of faith.

If you or someone you know has questions or wants to learn more about this journey, please contact Deacon George (below) and arrange for a confidential conversation.
