OCIA for Adults
"As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace" - 1 Peter 4:10
The Order of Christian Initiation is both the Process used by adults interested in joining the Catholic Church and the vehicle for practicing Catholics to strengthen their faith by sharing it and participating in the OCIA journey.
It is a true journey because each individual determines its course and length. For those interested in discerning about joining the Catholic Church from other faith traditions (as well as those who were Baptized Catholic, but never completed their sacraments of Initiation -Reconciliation, Eucharist and Confirmation) the OCIA offers: the dynamics of a faith-sharing environment for your discernment; a non-threatening atmosphere to have questions answered; instruction in the Faith and spiritual growth; concise explanations on Church teachings and how to approach them; and materials to carry you through life.
For those practical Catholics who become involved in OCIA as team members, their faith will deepen and expand. Many levels of involvement are available.
SPONSORS ARE NEEDED FOR THIS YEAR! Please e-mail us if you can help.

During Easter, the church celebrates all of our candidates and catechumens who were welcomed into the Parish to live their best Catholic Life. If you see them around, say hello.
