OCIA – Becoming Catholic

The Order of Christian Initiation (OCIA) is a process for initiating new members into the Catholic Church.  It is an ongoing process of inquiry, discovery and prayer that helps one discern the voice of God… in community, in Church and in the depths of one’s heart. Through OCIA, we study and explore the Catholic faith.

OCIA is for those:

• Youth 4^th grade or older/Adults never baptized who might desire to become a Catholic
• Youth 4^th grade or older/Adults baptized in another Christian church who might desire to become Catholic
• Youth 4^th grade or older/Adults baptized Catholic who have not received full reception into the church through the Sacraments of Eucharist or Confirmation

All are Welcome! Please feel free to join us on this journey of faith!
