The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults

Becoming a Catholic is a spiritual journey of preparation, study and prayer called the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA). Through OCIA, an adult becomes a fully participating member of the Catholic Church – receiving the sacraments of initiation (baptism, first Holy Communion and confirmation). It consists of four learning periods, with the goal being welcomed into full communion with the Church and inclusion in the life of the faith community.
