Order of Christian Initiation
OCIA
The Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (OCIA), formerly known as the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA), is a process designed for individuals seeking to learn about and enter the Catholic Church. This program welcomes people of all backgrounds, including those who are unbaptized, baptized in another Christian tradition, or Catholics looking to complete their sacraments. OCIA involves a series of educational sessions, discussions, and spiritual formation, culminating in the reception of sacraments at the Easter Vigil. Participants explore the teachings of the Church, engage in prayer and community, and prepare for a deeper relationship with Christ. It is a journey of faith that emphasizes personal growth and community support.
