Order of Christian Initiation for Adults
OCIA
What is OCIA?
The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) is a program of formation designed for non-Catholics who are seeking to join the Catholic Church. This program provides opportunities for study, reflection and a spiritual journey led by the program director, the parish clergy and the individual’s personal sponsor. Individuals entering the Catholic Church are typically received into the Church as part of our Easter liturgies.
If you are aware of anyone seeking entrance into the Catholic Church or simply have questions regarding what would be involved to become a Catholic, please assist them by putting them in touch with our parish. For signup and further information, please email parish@stpetersofnewiberia.com.
