(OCIA)
Order of Christians Initiation for Adults

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

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

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.
