OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation for Adults)

Are you interested in learning more about the Catholic faith?

The Order of Christian Initiation for Adult (OCIA formerly known as RCIA) is a process by which adults can gradually learn about the Catholic faith and way of life.  Whether you are completely new to Catholicism or are simply looking to deepen your understanding, OCIA offers a welcoming and supportive environment for your journey.  The OCIA process is designed to help you grow in your understanding of the Catholic faith and prepare for full communion with the Church.  These sessions are also a great opportunity for you to ask those perplexing and difficult questions you may have about the Church.

OCIA is meant to be a gradual process which has different phases.  The graphic below provides a summary of each of the phases a non-baptized person in OCIA will go through before becoming Catholic.  The phases for a baptized Christian are similar in overall structure, bu will vary slightly.

St. Margaret Mary parish wants to journey with those who are experiencing a conversion of faith to help them grow in relationship with Jesus and His Church.
