OCIA -Adult Faith Formation
OCIA stands for “Order of Christian Initiation of Adults”. It is a program run by adult members of the parish. OCIA requires a modest commitment of time, but we think you will find the process a lot easier than you might expect. In addition, we have found that everyone who becomes involved, young or old, highly religious or moderately so, finds it to be a wonderful experience. An invitation is extended to
- Those who are unbaptized.
- Those baptized in the Catholic Church who have not received the sacraments of Eucharist and/or Confirmation.
- Those baptized in another Christian Church who are interested in learning more about the Catholic Church.
There are many reasons for wanting to learn more about the Catholic Church. The good news is that the Catholic Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Parish has an excellent program for you. Classes meet weekly, every Thursday after the 7:00 pm from September through Pentecost. How do I join and what does OCIA involve? Signing up is easy.
