The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults, OCIA, is focused on the conversion of Catechumens, the unbaptized, and Candidates, those baptized in other Christian denominations or Catholics seeking to complete their sacramental initiation into the Roman Catholic faith. It is a process focused on conversion during an extended period of formation, typically October through the Easter season. 

OCIA participants and their sponsors gather at the 8:00 a.m. Mass each Sunday followed by light refreshments and an adult faith formation session.  These sessions are typically led by our priests, deacons, or members of the OCIA team. 

If you are an adult who is seeking more information on Baptism, First Holy Communion, and/or Confirmation, welcome!  Please consider The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA).
