Become Catholic
order of Christian initiation of Adults (OCIA)

“Dear brothers and sisters, let us follow Jesus to Galilee, encounter him and worship him there, where he is waiting for each of us. Let us revive the beauty of that moment when we realized that he is alive and we made him the Lord of our lives...Let us rise to new life!”."
- Pope Francis
Our Purpose:
Purpose of OCIA is to help people who are desiring to join the Catholic Church learn more about the Catholic Faith or are Catholic and need one or more of the sacraments who are over the age of 13.

Who We Support
