Are You Interested in Becoming Catholic
or learning more about the Catholic Christian Faith?

OCIA is the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults, which is the process by which baptized adults and un-baptized adults can become full members of the Catholic Church. OCIA provides a welcoming, prayerful and informative setting that allows people to come and explore God's call in their lives and learn more about what it means to be Catholic.
The process leads to your baptism and full communion with the Catholic Church
when you discern that you are ready to make this important step.
Classes are held on Tuesdays at 6pm in Spanish or English and on Sundays at 12:45pm.
