Through formation and instruction, the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults, journey is unique to each person. We begin with a meeting to discuss your personal journey. If you are baptized Catholic, baptized in another church or unbaptized, welcome!


The Order of Christian Initiation (OCIA) classes are for all ages. Adult class are for 15yr olds to adults. OCIC classes are for children 8yrs-14 yrs old on Sundays.


The OCIA journey involves four steps: Inquiry (inquiring about God and the Catholic Church), Acceptance/Catechumenate (continued learning in becoming a Catholic), and Elect/Enlightenment (when one is ready to make a permanent faith commitment in the Catholic Church).
Mystagogy integrates what began during formation and instruction, deeping the meaning of what it is to be Catholic. We look forward to meeting you!
