OCIA – Order of Christian Initiation of Adults
Every year at the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday, thousands of people across the U.S. are baptized into the Catholic Church. What a joy it is to welcome new members into the Body of Christ!
If you're a baptized Catholic who hasn’t yet been Confirmed—or if you come from a different faith background and are curious about becoming Catholic—the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA, formerly RCIA) is here to guide you.
This welcoming group typically meets weekly from mid-September through May, journeying together in faith, prayer, and learning. For many, this journey leads to receiving the Sacraments of Initiation at the Easter Vigil. But everyone's path is unique, and your starting point depends on where you are in your relationship with Christ and the sacraments you've already received.
As you listen for God’s call in your life, know that we’re praying for you and would love to walk with you. Reach out to our parish office to talk with our pastor or one of our deacons—we’d be honored to help you take the next step.
