Order of Christian
Initiation for Adults
(OCIA)

The OCIA program is offered year-round and is designed to facilitate inquiry into the teachings and practices of the Catholic faith for those baptized in other Christian denominations or for those who have never been baptized.

After an appropriate period of inquiry, participants may choose to prepare to join the Catholic Church. The length of this period depends upon the participant's previous faith background. Those interested may begin the inquiry process any time, attending classes on Sunday afternoons. The program is conducted by a teaching team under the supervision of the pastor.
