OCIA

OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation of Adults) is a process for adults who desire to join the Catholic faith and for those seeking more information on the Catholic Church through prayer, study, and discussion. This journey can look different for everyone & there is no set time frame.

WHO IS OCIA FOR? 

• Non-Catholics who want to find out more about the Catholic Faith
• Those who want to join the Catholic Church through Baptism, or Profession of Faith
• Those who were baptized Catholic as infants but never received religious education, Confirmation, or First Eucharist.



The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has some information & FAQs on their website. Please contact the rectory at (773-775-6659) for more information and to register.
