We welcome the opportunity to share our Catholic faith and traditions with adults who are interested in Catholicism. By participating in the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA), individuals have an opportunity to discover and explore what it means to be "Catholic" in a setting that emphasizes spiritual growth. OCIA is open to:

• Individuals who are not baptized desire to study Catholic beliefs and practices.

• Those who have been baptized in another Christian denomination and who now wish to explore membership in the Catholic Church.

• Baptized Catholics have not received the Sacraments of Confirmation or Holy Eucharist as they seek to respond more deeply to God's invitation to full membership.

Active Catholics who want to share faith stories, experiences of prayer, and Scripture, and examine the history and tradition of the Catholic Church are encouraged to attend the weekly sessions and serve as a companion to the participant. The process begins in the Fall of the year with sessions meeting weekly and can lead to full membership in the Catholic Church at the Easter Vigil when the Sacraments of Initiation - Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation - are celebrated.
