OCIA: Order of Christian Initiation for Adults
OCIA (formerly RCIA) instruction in the Catholic faith is for those seeking to enter the Catholic church and those who want to deepen their knowledge and appreciation of their faith.
This program is for adults who have received some Christian sacraments, are in a different Christian denomination, or are not Christians. We walk with each candidate individually during this program to ensure holistic spiritual and intellectual formation. We use the Symbolon series from the Augustine Institute.
Classes begin each fall and meet weekly until just before Easter. Candidates are initiated, baptized, or confirmed at the Easter Vigil annually. Faith is a journey towards union and intimacy with Christ throughout one’s life, and this is only the first step of many! May God bless your discernment; know that you are being prayed for!
