Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA)

Our Catholic adult faith formation meets every Sunday in the rectory of Saint Patrick Church from 9:50 - 10:50 AM. Sessions generally take place September through May each year, where candidates and/or catechumens gradually learn about the Catholic faith (beliefs and practices) through four stages: Inquiry, the Catechumenate, Purification and Enlightenment, and Mystagogy.


This is a process, and for many this is a gradual one. We're here to assist you on this journey with the goal of growing closer to Jesus, who has died for you, and He walks by your side to guide you, enlighten you and strengthen you.


* Check the schedule for specific dates as well as holiday times when the program will on a brief break.

** If you have an interest in registering for OCIA or would like to learn more about the process, please contact Lucy Ziman at lziman1215@gmail.com or Greg Solfanelli at greg.solfanelli@gmail.com.
