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 in September.
