OCIA is the ancient and currently renewed process for initiating adults into the Catholic Church.  It is for people of other faith traditions who seek to inquire about becoming members of our faith.  OCIA is also for adult baptized Catholics who have not made their Communion or Confirmation.  We welcome your interest; please call the Parish Office for assistance.
