  • What is "OCIA?"


    Your life is an incredible journey. The word journey is used intentionally because when you’re on a journey there are three important factors:

    1. Where you are,
    2. Where you want to go,
    3. And how you are going to get there.
    OCIA stands for the Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (OCIA). In short, OCIA is a journey, your journey, of exploring life's important questions through the lens of the Gospel, discovering the teachings of the Catholic Church, and your steps toward becoming Catholic.
    Learn More about OCIA
    If you are interested in being part of the journey of becoming Catholic, please submit an Inquiry Form and one of our parish staff will reach out to you to discuss next steps:
