The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) is for adults who desire to become fully initiated members of the Catholic Church. Â The goal of the process is full, conscious and active participation in an exciting life with Jesus within the Catholic Church.
 OCIA helps adults grow in their relationship with God, become familiar with Catholic teachings and practices, get acquainted with the faith community and get involved in service within the community.
 Many people who want to join the Catholic Church have already been baptized in another Christian Church.  They do not need to be rebaptized.  They participate in the process with those never baptized to familiarize themselves with the Roman Catholic Tradition.  Others may have been baptized in the Catholic Church and need to complete the sacraments of initiation by receiving First Eucharist and/or Confirmation.
 If you know of someone who might be interested in learning more about OCIA, please complete the form below or contact Fr. Derek Mobilio at [email protected].
