Thank you for your interest in learning more about the Catholic faith! We are happy to journey with you as you learn about our faith.

The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) is designed for adults who wish to become full members of the Catholic Church. OCIA is a process of spiritual enrichment and growth preparing un-baptized adults for Baptism and for other sacraments. It is also for candidates who have been baptized (Catholic and non Catholic) but have not received other sacraments or wish to learn more about their Catholic faith. The process begins in September and continues through Holy Week.
