Order of Christian Initiation of Adults - OCIA

​If you are an adult interested in receiving full Communion into the Catholic Church, the OCIA program walks you through the necessary steps.  For adults today, the Church, after the Second Vatican Council, has restored the order of the Catechumenate in the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA).  It outlines the steps for the formation of catechumens, bringing their conversion to the faith to a greater maturity.  It helps them respond more deeply to God's gracious initiative in their lives and prepares them for union with the Church community.  This process is meant to form them into the fullness of the Christian life and to become disciples of Jesus, their teacher.
