O.C.I.A is the Order of Christian Initiation for Adults. This is the primary means by which an Adult can come into communion with the Church. The process at our Parish usually begins in the fall and culminates with the Easter Vigil. We typically have a few inquiry nights where people can come, with no commitment, to ask questions and decide if they want to go through this process. It is primarily a period of discernment where the person will study the faith and further develop an understanding of what it means to be a Disciple of Christ. Each person will have to have a sponsor, someone to journey with them at each class. That sponsor needs to be a practicing Catholic who is willing to learn, and willing to discuss with you the questions that might arise during this process. If you have trouble finding a sponsor, please feel free to speak to our team and we will try to find someone to step up to join you on this journey.
