Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA)

The Order for the Christian Initiation of Adults (formerly RCIA) is the church's way to warmly welcome new members into the faith by providing appropriate spiritual formation according to each person's needs.

Adults interested in becoming Catholic or would like to have answers to questions about the Catholic faith or are searching for God in their life,

O.C.I.A. is a spiritual journey through which the participants become acquainted with the Christian way of life through encountering the teachings and practices of the Catholic Church.
