  • OCIA (formerly RCIA) ~ Order of Christian Initiation for Adults

    The Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (formerly RCIA) is the program whereby interested adults take an in-depth look at the Catholic Church and decide to become fully initiated into our Catholic Faith by receiving the Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation. 

    This program begins in October and concludes after Easter. The OCIA Team works closely in presenting this program.  If you want to be on a team that welcomes people into our Roman Catholic Faith...THIS TEAM IS FOR YOU!
