Interested in the Catholic Faith?

If you're curious about the Catholic faith or you've even thought about becoming a Catholic, our Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) is just for you.  Adults from all faith traditions, or no religious background at all, are welcome to participate in our program of instruction. The program focuses on four essential areas: what the Church teaches; how the Church teaches; the Bible; and spirituality.

OCIA is designed for adults who wish to become full members of the Catholic Church, but we also welcome any adult who wishes to learn more about the Catholic faith. OCIA is a process of spiritual enrichment and growth preparing un-baptized adults for Baptism and for other sacraments. It is also for candidates who have been baptized (Catholic and non-Catholic) but have not received other sacraments or wish to learn more about their Catholic faith.

The Process

The process begins in September and continues through Holy Week. We meet on Sundays from 9:00 AM till 11:00 AM.  We begin at the 9 AM mass. Our priest dismisses us after the readings and his homily with a special prayer of dismissal. We then go to the parish conference room for prayer, teaching, reflection, discussion, and fellowship. From time to time, we will have excursions, watch movies, and enjoy dinners together.

The process begins with an "Inquiry" period, when questions lead to exploration. Drop in - no obligations, no commitments, no pressure at one of our meetings on Sunday. If you like, we can meet you elsewhere, like a coffee house to discuss the RCIA.
