Order of Christian Initiation for Adults
(OCIA)

The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) is not your typical course of study. It's a unique immersion into Christ-centered living, a total formation of a person into a BELIEVING (doctrinal formation), PRAYING (liturgical formation) and SERVING (apostolic formation) Roman Catholic Christian. This gradual process of conversion of mind and heart is not just about studying the Catholic Faith and Scriptures, but also about experiencing and sharing the truths and doctrines of the Catholic Faith with other adult seekers, guided by our dedicated OCIA team of Catechists.

 

Who is this process for?

  1. Unbaptized adults who now wish to learn more about the Catholic Faith with the possibility of coming into full communion with the Catholic Church.

  2. Baptized Christians from other denominations who desire to learn the Catholic Faith with the possibility of coming into full communion with the Catholic Church.

  3. Catholics who were baptized but have never received their First Holy Communion and have not been confirmed.

 

If you're feeling a calling from God to embark on this journey of heart conversion, we invite you to join us. Let's walk together towards a deeper relationship with God and His Church. To start this transformative process, please reach out to the Office of Faith Formation or take a moment to fill out the form below. We're here to support you every step of the way.

Success! Message sent.
