OCIA Order of Christian Initiation for Adults

OCIA/Initiation (18+ years old)

Are you interested in becoming Catholic? Sacramental Preparation is conducted through our OCIA program. The process for becoming Catholic is called the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA), which is our formation process for adults who:

  • Have never been baptized
  • Have been baptized but want to receive the Sacraments of First Reconciliation, First Communion, and Confirmation
  • Those who have been baptized in another faith and would like to become Roman Catholic

OCIA is the Catholic Church’s process to bring people, through study, spiritual growth and community, into the heart of the Kingdom of Heaven. OCIA is a faith journey designed to meet our fundamental spiritual needs as God’s children and help us identify with and become a part of a faith community. The OCIA program begins each fall and ends at Easter the following spring.

OCIA Sessions will be held on Thursday evenings from 7:00-8:30pm in the Parish Center

If you are curious about the Catholic faith but not yet ready to commit to OCIA. That is OK! We welcome you to the classes too.

Please call the office to learn more about the process at 410-256-1630 or email Fr. Ned at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
