Adult Formation

Order of Christians Initiation for Adults(OCIA)

​Are you thinking about living a faith life in the Catholic community?

Do you know someone who has been thinking about the Catholic faith?

Prayer

Holy Spirit is Starting sessions on Sunday September 7

OCIA is a journey of faith for anyone who wants to learn more about the Catholic faith. It is for non-Catholics and baptized Christians who want to

discern if God is calling them to the Catholic Church. It is also for baptized Catholics who would like to prepare for the Sacraments of First Holy Communion and/or Confirmation.

OCIA Is the process through which adults are able to join the Catholic Church. It is the path into the Catholic Church for non-baptized adults, as well as adults who are baptized in non-Catholic Christian traditions. Additionally, adults who were baptized Catholic but who did not complete the sacraments of Confirmation and/or Eucharist may attend OCIA as a means to celebrate those sacraments.
