OCIA

(Order of Christian Initiation of Adults)

Thinking about exploring the Catholic faith? The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) provides you with a pathway for discovering more about what it means to be Catholic. Whether you have no background in faith at all, or you stepped away before you received First Eucharist or Confirmation, OCIA is for all adults who think they might be ready to embrace the love of Christ in community with the Church.

So, who can join OCIA? The OCIA process is designed for those who are interested in joining the Church through Baptism, and those who have been validly baptized in another Christian tradition and are now seeking the Full Communion with the Catholic Church. The OCIA is also a wonderful process for adults who were baptized Catholic but have yet to receive First Eucharist and Confirmation.

If you're ready to take this exciting step, the OCIA community is here to support you every step of the way!
