Becoming Catholic:
A Journey of Faith and Discovery
Welcome!
- Are you curious about what Catholics believe?
- Wondering if there’s more to life than what you’ve known?
- Have you been attending Mass with a Catholic friend or loved one?
- Do you admire the peace you see in Catholics and long for that in your own life?
- Want to know more about Jesus and how to follow Him?
If any of these resonate with you, you're in the right place--and we're so glad you're here.
What is OCIA?
OCIA stands for the Order of Christian Initiation for Adults—the pathway for adults to explore and enter the Catholic Church. You might recognize its former name, RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults). Though the name has changed, the heart of the journey remains the same: walking together toward truth, peace, and purpose.
This isn’t just a program—it’s a pilgrimage. Whether you’re just curious or seriously considering, we’re here to walk with you. We’ll explore the richness of the Catholic faith and discover the beauty of life in Christ.
- Weekly gatherings begin in September and continue through Easter.
- Each session is relaxed, welcoming, and open to your questions.
- No pressure. No expectations. Just an invitation to explore.
