Become Catholic

 

The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA)



Are you an adult who wants to become a member of the Catholic Church?  Are you simply curious about the possibility and want to learn more?


Consider OCIA! The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults is a weekly class for adults to learn about Jesus, the Church, salvation, and more. This prepares participants to be received into the Catholic Church at the Easter Vigil.


OCIA is for adults (18 and older) who:

  • Are not Catholic and would like to become Catholic
  • Have yet to receive the of Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism (if not already received), First Communion, and Confirmation.
  • Catholics who want to learn more about their faith

 

Sessions take place from Autumn 2026 - Spring 2027.
