ORDER OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION

We’re so glad you’re here, and you’re interested in learning about Catholicism.

The Order of Christian Initiation (OCIA) is a four-stage process for adults wanting to profess the Catholic faith. The program cycles in conjunction with the liturgical calendar and culminates with Initiation at the Easter Vigil.

OCIA is a discernment process. Enrollment in OCIA does not require a commitment to join the Church.
