Adult Formation

Do you want to become Catholic?

Consider OCIA: The Order of Christian Initiation for Adults



What is OCIA?

This is the process of becoming a Catholic for adults and older teens.


How does OCIA work?

You will attend classes based on Sacred Scripture, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and the new video series Symbolon from the Augustine Institute.


Who is it for?

Anyone who…

• Desires to come into full communion with the Catholic Church.

• Started a Catholic faith journey but never completed their Sacraments.

• Left the Church and would like to re-energize their Faith.


When and how does it happen?

Classes start right after Labor Day on Monday evenings, every other week up until Easter. Before that, we will get to know those desiring to attend and help guide them in areas of preparation before the formal classes begin.


How can we help each other?

If you, or someone you know is interested in becoming Catholic, and energizing their Faith in Jesus Christ, contact us below.



Thank you
