OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation for Adults
Everyone is welcome to join our discussion sessions for OCIA. If you are a parishioner who needs a bit of "Catholicism 101", come sit in with us. If you want to work on your relationship with Jesus, come sit in with us. If you want to know more about the Catholic Church and becoming Catholic, come sit in with us.
Official sessions start in September, but you can inquire any time and get started learning and growing.OCIA will introduce you to the beliefs and practices of the Roman Catholic Church. It helps you explore what it means to be a Christian. It prepares you to enter fully into our community of faith through the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist. Becoming Catholic is more than just learning about Scripture and rituals, it is discovering how to be a disciple of the Lord.
