Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) is offered to adults and children who have not yet been baptized by 7 years of age.

Children are prepared to receive the Sacraments of Initiation through the Faith Formation Program.  They must attend Mass on special occasions and it is encouraged that they attend Mass regularly before reception of the sacraments.  Faith Formation classes start every year in September. Parents interested in this program should register their child(ren) by August 15th each year.

Adults are prepared to receive the Sacraments of Initiation through the adult OCIA program.  They too must attend Mass on special occasions and are encouraged to attend Mass regularly.  The Adult OCIA program is an all year program starting in May.  Inquiring adults are welcome to come even if the program cycle has already begun.

The sacraments will be received at the Easter Vigil.
