OCIA
The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) is usually a year-long process of instruction, formation, and creation of a relationship with God and membership in the Roman Catholic Church. It is designed for adults who are unbaptized, baptized in another Christian denomination, or baptized Catholic but not confirmed, and culminates in receiving the Sacraments of Baptism (if needed), First Communion, and Confirmation at the Easter Vigil Mass. Formation continues after Easter as well. If you are interested in joining the Roman Catholic Church, please contact Deacon Ross Ronish. We'd love to have you join us!
OCIA meets on Thursday evenings, beginning in September, from 6:30-8:30 p.m.
