Considering Catholicism?

Q: I have never been baptized. How do I become a Christian?

Q: I grew up in another Christian Tradition. How do I become Catholic?

OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation of Adults) is the process by which adults are received into the church and receive the sacraments. The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults, or OCIA, is designed for adults who, after hearing about Jesus Christ, consciously and freely seek to enter a way of faith towards growing in relationship with Him. It involves periods of inquiry and growth. By God’s help, participants will be strengthened spiritually during their preparation and at the proper time will be fully received into the Catholic Church.

  • Are you an adult interested in becoming Catholic?
  • Are you or someone you know interested in learning more about Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church?

Please note: There is no commitment to become Catholic to begin the first phase of the OCIA process.

This is a year-round process that can begin anytime. Depending on where you are in your journey can determine how long the path is through this process.  The first step is to set up an introductory meeting with Nicky to assess the right path for you. Please fill out the Inquiry Form and Nicky will contact you to set up a time to meet.
