Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (O.C.I.A.)

If you are interested in becoming a Catholic, we invite you to join the process called O.C.I.A. The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) is a gradual process of spiritual formation that includes prayer, sharing, and study and occurs in the context of the parish community. It is intended for adults who:

• are not baptized and would like to be fully initiated and welcomed into the Catholic Church through the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist
• were baptized in another Christian community/tradition* and seek to be received into the full communion of the Catholic Church through the sacraments of
  Confirmation and Eucharist
• were baptized as Catholics* as infants/children but have not received the sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist

* Proof of valid Christian baptism is required (by way of certificate or letter of verification from one’s church of baptism).
