Becoming Catholic

Do you know of our OCIA?

At our last Easter Vigil, we had about a dozen adults who received the Sacraments of Initiation and became full members of our Church. They went through the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA formerly called RCIA) 

OCIA is for:

• Unbaptized - Adults who have not been baptized but wish to receive this Sacrament.
• Baptized in Another Christian Church - those baptized in another church/ denomination, but wish to join the Catholic Church, to have full communion with the Roman Catholic Church.
• Baptized in the Catholic Church but did not receive Holy Communion and/ Confirmation - persons who were baptized as infants but did not celebrate the sacraments of Penance, Confirmation, and Eucharist.

If you know someone who fits any of the above, please let us know. Besides, any parishioner is also welcome to attend any or all of the OCIA sessions in order to grow more in faith.

We will begin our new Class of 2027 next month and meet on Sundays for an hour after attending the 9AM Mass. Those in OCIA will receive the Sacraments during the next Easter Vigil.

Our Parish is blessed with a wonderful OCIA team conducting the sessions in an interesting and interactive way. They are:
