Are you curious about the Catholic faith?
Are you a Catholic who hasn’t been around for a while?
Not Catholic, but considering becoming Catholic?
Grew up Catholic but were never confirmed?
Join us for OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation of Adults; formerly known as RCIA), a program to address any of these circumstances. If you, or someone you know, would like to learn more about the Catholic faith, or are considering the possibility of becoming a Catholic, the OCIA process might be exactly what you are looking for. The process to explore the Catholic faith is called OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation of Adults) By participating in OCIA, it does not mean you have made a commitment to become a Catholic, only to learn more about the Catholic Faith.
The OCIA process is twofold. The first being an opportunity to uncover God’s loving presence in one’s personal life and the second, a means to help a person embrace the rich treasury of the Catholic faith.
Through OCIA, we have the opportunity to share the Catholic faith with non-Catholic neighbors, friends and future parishioners. Anyone and everyone is welcome to join OCIA! Non-Catholics and Catholics alike are invited to encounter Christ in this program.
