Becoming Catholic OCIA / RICA
-
What do Catholics believe?
The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (OCIA) is the process whereby adults enter the Catholic Church. RCIA classes are held weekly. Over the course of several months, those who attend the OCIA classes are educated on what the Catholic Church believes and are given the opportunity to ask questions about those beliefs. Just because you start OCIA, doesn't mean you are committed to finishing. If you are merely curious about what Catholicism is, please feel free to come. You may have grown up Catholic and have been away from the Church for awhile, or have questions you need answers to; all are welcome!
If you would like more information on becoming a Catholic, or information about the Catholic Church, please contact the Parish Center Office and we will be very glad to help you.
