Order of Christian Initiation

How Do I Become Catholic?

​

Adult Entrance into the Catholic Church occurs through

the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults or OCIA.

​

The OCIA is a gradual process of education and formation. Whether unbaptized or baptized in another Christian denomination, this journey helps adults deepen their relationship with God.​ Our process centers on the teachings and practices of the Catholic faith, emphasizing the value and application of faith in our daily lives. This journey will take you through the various phases of discerning your call to becoming a Catholic and living the faith. A sponsor accompanies each person desiring to become a Catholic. The sponsor may be chosen by the individual or provided by the parish. The sponsors offer support and guidance throughout OCIA and are encouraged to attend and be present throughout the process.

​

The first step of your journey is to contact Deacon Bob or our parish office.
