OCIA

BECOMING CATHOLIC

Are you or someone you know interested in becoming Catholic? Would you like to learn more about the Catholic Church?

We are looking forward to another year of our popular OCIA program (that is, Order of Christian Initiation for Adults), which consists of college students and adults of all ages.

The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) is a process of conversion and initiation into the Catholic Christian community providing individuals the opportunity and space to encounter God and respond to His invitation to a new way of life in the Catholic Church. 

Who is OCIA for?

1.  Individuals who have never been baptized and wish to receive the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist (Holy Communion) in the Catholic Church
2. Individuals who were baptized in another Christian denomination and wish to be received into full communion with the Catholic Church by receiving the sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist.
3. Baptized Catholics who have not completed their initiation; by receiving the sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist.
