Whether it’s your first step to learning more about the Catholic faith or it’s your return, welcome! Let’s walk this journey together.

OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation of Adults) is not a class. No quizzes, no grades. It is a journey of learning, love, and personal spiritual growth. Together with a team of dedicated parishioners, participants deepen their understanding of Catholic beliefs and practices. All are welcome, with no obligation to convert.

OCIA is for those who are searching, have never been baptized, were baptized in another Christian tradition, or were baptized Catholic but did not receive First Communion or Confirmation.

Explore the rich history, beauty, and spirituality that is the Catholic Church.
