OCIA (f.k.a. RCIA)

The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) is the process by which the Catholic Church welcomes new members. During the process of initiation, a person grows in knowledge of the teachings of the Catholic Church, explores the meaning of the Scriptures for daily life, develops friendships with members of the parish community, learns to pray and worship in the Catholic tradition and discovers the joy of serving others.

OCIA is also for anyone interested in learning more about the Catholic faith or learning about faith in a new way.
