Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA)
The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA), formerly called RCIA, is a program very dear to the heart of the Catholic Church. It’s purpose is to welcome into full Communion with the Church those adults who:
- have never been baptized but seek reception into the Church
- have been baptized into another Christian denomination but seek reception into the Church
- have been baptized in the Catholic Church but have not received one or both of the other Sacraments of Initiation (Confirmation and First Eucharist)
- have been baptized and fully initiated into the Catholic Church but have been away and seek Reconciliation
OCIA also welcomes those who may not be sure if they want to join the Church yet, but are interested in learning more. What is exceptionally beautiful about OCIA is that no matter one’s background, they can find a community of believers who all share a similar love for their faith and for sharing it. Those who become sponsors and leaders also grow and learn more each year! If you think OCIA sounds like a good fit for you, please join us!
