Adult English OCIA

The Order of Christian Initiation is the practice of the Church for preparing adults for full participation in the Sacramental life of the Church.


These adults:

  • Have not been Baptized and would like to be received fully into the Catholic Church through Baptism.

or

  • Have been Baptized in another Christian community and seek full communion with the Catholic Church.

or

  • Have been Baptized Catholic as infants but have not received the sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist at the customary times.


OCIA is a gradual process that "takes as long as it takes." As it progresses, the process has 4 steps.
