OCIA

Order of Christian Initiation for Adults

Welcome any and all who are interested in the 2000 year unbroken Church, built by Jesus Christ upon the foundation of Peter the Rock (Mt. 16:18).  Even if you are ready to convert today, come and learn what the Church teaches.  You might have heard many things that "Catholics believe"...now, come and hear the Truth that the Church professes boldly.  

So that we can make sure and keep you in the know on our dates, places, and any changes, please fill out this form.   

Here is the 2024-25 calendar of classes.  Our program is approximately 9 months...the most amazing blessings take that long.  Do not be dissuaded if there are conflicts with some of the dates; we can work out some solutions...just let us know.  

2024-25 OCIA Calendar

September Notes

September 4th:  Welcome everyone.  For any kids doing the OCIC program, if you are not already enrolled in the RE program, please do so, as you are going to get so much out of these parallel resources.  We will have to have release forms for anyone under 18 years old.  We'll start at 6 pm and end around 7:15-7:30 pm.  We'll meet in the Benedict Center (BC - Gym).  

September 11th: Had a great night with the Journey of Faith, our first video.  The conversation was great and the interactions filled up almost the whole time.  Remember that Faith must first be grasped by the intellect, which is presented by God's revelation to us, and then it must move through the faculty of the soul.  

September 18th: Note for the next two weeks -- as we will be counting down to our parish carnival, to which you are all invited, we will be moved to the Rother room for our videos and talks.
