Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA)

All are Welcome!

OCIA is a process of study, exploration, faith-sharing, and faith formation with specific liturgical rites for seekers and inquirers. Seekers and inquirers are non-baptized adults who desire to be fully initiated into the Roman Catholic Church and/or baptized adult Christians who desire full communion in the Roman Catholic Church.

Adults who have not been baptized and desire to join the Church are invited into the celebration of the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults. During this process, participants are introduced to the liturgy, the teachings, and the life of the Catholic Church.

Adults who were baptized in another Christian denomination prepare in a similar way for the sacraments of Confirmation and the Eucharist during their reception into the Catholic Church.

We are taking signups for the 2025 Season now. Our first session will be on Wednesday, March 12, 2025 at 7:00-8:30 p.m. in the St. Kilian Parish Hall. All those interested in becoming Catholic, returning alumni, sponsors and volunteers are all invited to attend. Please join us, find out more about our program, and discover the joys of becoming Catholic!
