OCIA: Become a Catholic
Becoming a Catholic is governed by the Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (OCIA). The OCIA process begins at the end of November each year (with the start of Advent) and concludes the following May. We offer more in-person information sessions in October/November.
The process is a gradual journey of conversion and discovery, but not a communal process where the curious can encounter God's love invitation at their own pace.
-
Inquire Without Pressure: Start with a no-commitment period and hear the Good News.
-
Grow in Community: Walk with parish members who are also striving to live out the Gospel
-
Prepare for New Life: For those who choose to continue the journey, the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Eucharist) Easter Vigil.
