Becoming Catholic (OCIA)
-
Have you ever been curious about what the Church teaches and what our faith is all about? Have you ever thought about becoming Catholic? Are you an adult Catholic who was never catechized, and are interested in taking the next step in your spiritual journey by completing your initiation?
The OCIA ) Order of Christian Initiation for Adults) program is a great way to deepen your faith, learn more about the Bible and theology, and to enrich your personal relationship with Almighty God. In OCIA you can ask honest questions and receive honest answers in a spiritually rich, judgment-free space.
The program begins in the September and continues through the reception of the Sacraments of Initiation the following Easter.
