Christian Initiation of Adults is a gradual process of conversion and spiritual formation for persons who are interested in becoming disciples of Jesus in the Catholic tradition. The OCIA experience is guided by prayer, study, reflection, faith sharing, on-going discernment and participation in the life of the parish.
The OCIA process is divided into several stages, or thresholds. Progression from one period to the next is celebrated with the parish community during a weekend Liturgy. Each person's faith journey is honored. The length of time a person is within any threshold may vary.
Christian Initiation of Adults is for individuals who:
+ have never been baptized
+ are baptized in another Christian tradition
+ were baptized Catholic as infants but did not receive further religious education or experience, and who desire their first Holy Communion and Confirmation.
The first step of this journey is scheduling an introductory meeting. We listen and together identify how to best support you on this pathway of faith.More information about the periods of this process can be found on the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) website. -
