Adult Sacramental Preparation 

OCIA

OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation of Adults) is a discernment and formation process designed to help unbaptized adults to get to know Jesus Christ and His Church.  This same process is used to fully initiate baptized adults (whether Catholic or another Christian denomination) into the Catholic Church through the sacraments of Confirmation and the Eucharist.  OCIA classes meet every Tuesday night from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm in the St. Mary Parish Center.  This year’s process will begin on September 12, 2023, and run through the end of May 2024.

To register, please contact Marybeth Schombert in the Parish office.
