The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) is the process by which adults are gradually introduced to the Catholic faith and life in Christ. It is designed for those who are seeking to become full members of the Roman Catholic Church.
OCIA is more than a course—it is a personal journey, guided by the Holy Spirit, in which each participant grows in faith, deepens their relationship with God, and prepares to receive the Sacraments of Initiation.
Our mission is to help individuals come to know, love, and follow Jesus Christ through the teachings of the Catholic Church. We offer clear instruction in Catholic doctrine and moral life, rooted in Sacred Scripture, the witness of the early Church Fathers, the sacred Liturgy, and the Magisterium (CCC 85–86). Guided by the Holy Spirit, our goal is not merely to inform—but to form faithful disciples ready to live out their baptismal calling in the heart of the Church.
You may be called to OCIA if you are:
There is no set timeline or pressure to “complete” OCIA. The process respects each participant’s unique pace and openness to the Holy Spirit. Conversion is not just learning facts—it is about falling in love with Christ and choosing to walk in His Church.
May our Lord Jesus Christ draw you ever closer to the heart of the Father, and may the Holy Spirit guide, strengthen, and sustain you on this journey of faith.
As you walk toward the fullness of truth, may you come to know the deep joy of belonging to Christ, the beauty of His Church, and the hope of eternal life in communion with the Most Holy Trinity. Amen.
