O.C.I.A. - Order of Christian Initiation of Adults, formerly known as R.C.I.A., is a process designed for three different groups of people.

1. Adults who are not baptized and would like to join the Catholic Church.

2. Adults who were baptized as children into the Catholic Faith, but who have not completed their initiation in the Church because they have not celebrated their First Holy Communion and/or Sacrament of Confirmation.

3. Adults who have been validly baptized in another Christian denomination and who now want to be received in the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church welcomes people of all faiths and backgrounds into the OCIA process.

There is no fee for the Order of Christian Initiation process.

If you or someone you know interested in learning more about the Catholic Faith, please call the parish office at 985-758-2668.
