OCIA-Order of Christian Initiation of Adults

The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults is a community faith journey that leads to the transformation of mind, heart and spirit.  This team process is designed for adults who were never baptized, those who were baptized in another Christian Faith Community as well as for baptized Catholics who have not received Communion or Confirmation.  It begins in the late summer with the “Inquiry Stage”.  At that point you are asked to contact the Parish Office to set up a meeting with the Pastor to discuss your desire to explore the possibility of becoming a Catholic.  

As Mitchell and Korey continue this journey of faith, we ask our parish family to keep them in your daily prayers as they discern God’s will for their lives and prepare to receive the sacraments of initiation at the Easter Vigil. Our Parish OCIA Team gathers with them every Sunday from 10-11 AM in the music room. October’s Schedule is:

10/4: Revelation and Faith (Frank Polidora, Patricia Shenyo)

10/11: Church, Body of Christ, People of God / The Church - Purpose, Hierarchy, and the Pope, Role of the Laity. (Amy Triano, Deacon Maurice)
