OCIA-Order Of Christian Initiation For Adults
Come and join us as we begin our journey towards the one who offers “the way and the truth and the life”. (John 14: 6)
OCIA — Adult Sacramental Preparation
“Come to me… listen, that you may have life.” Isaiah 55:1–3
Are you an adult seeking Baptism, First Communion, and/or Confirmation? Are you interested in learning more about the Catholic faith or becoming Catholic? We invite you to take the next step in your faith journey with us.
Adult Classes
OCIA classes begin each September and continue through the spring.
Adults who need all three Sacraments of Initiation, Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist will participate in the OCIA process.
Adults who are already Catholic and need Confirmation only may participate in a separate preparation process. Meeting times will be determined based on the number of participants.
What You Will Need
Please provide an updated Baptismal Certificate at the beginning of the preparation process. Adults who have not been baptized will need a Birth Certificate.
Regular Sunday Mass attendance is an important part of the preparation process.
