Get Started

Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA)

OCIA is the process for adults (18+) who are unbaptized or baptized in another Christian denomination to fully join the Catholic Church. It involves learning Catholic traditions, growing closer to Jesus, and journeying with a faith community.

"I had been attending other denominations since returning to church about 30 years ago, but coming to the Roman Catholic Church through OCIA was so much more than anything I'd experienced before. Going to Mass, receiving the Eucharist, walking in the path of saints is an honor and I'm truly thankful."
Cyndy
"I was raised Catholic but never finished all of the sacraments. I felt a lot of emptiness in my life that I tried filling with many vices. I was Confirmed last year and can say that doing so through OCIA changed me forever and set me on the right path which finally gives me joy.”
Joshua
“I’d attended Mass as a non-Catholic many times over the years. OCIA revealed the key pillars that Catholicism is based upon, helped shape my spiritual life and develop my Christian identity.”
