Are you or someone you know interested in becoming Catholic? Or perhaps you are an adult or older child looking to complete your Sacraments of Initiation, including First Communion and Confirmation?

Our OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation of Adults) program is here to welcome and guide you!

What is OCIA?

The OCIA journey is a beautiful and transformative process. It involves many moving parts designed to deepen faith and community connection. Through engaging discussions, meaningful rituals, dismissals, and “Breaking Open the Word,” our dedicated volunteers help support and guide those preparing to become fully initiated members of the Catholic Church.

🌟 Volunteer Opportunity: Dismissal Leaders

We are currently seeking volunteers to help guide our new members!

Do you enjoy reflecting on Scripture? Dismissal Leaders play a vital role by facilitating “Breaking Open the Word” for our OCIA participants immediately following the homily at the 9:30 AM Mass.

Note for Volunteers: Adult volunteers must be fully initiated (having received Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist) and practicing Catholics.
