Order of Christian Initiation for Adults, or OCIA
People who are considering joining the Catholic Church should consider attending OCIA classes Sunday mornings from 9 to 11 a.m. throughout the months of August to June. OCIA is the process established by the universal Church for individuals to become Catholic and receive the Sacraments of Initiation, which include Baptism, Confirmation and Holy Communion. Individuals previously baptized will also receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation. The initiation process also involves the parish community experiencing a renewal in faith as it prepares and welcomes the members into the Church. The Order speaks of conversion as a “spiritual journey.” Centered on fostering a deep relationship with Jesus and the Church He founded, this journey takes place through distinct stages over a period of time suitable to bring through catechesis the significant experience of a parish community and commitment to the liturgical and moral life of the Catholic faithful.
