OCIA/RCIA Groups
Journey into the Catholic faith together
What is OCIA/RCIA?
The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA), formerly known as RCIA, is the process through which adults enter the Catholic Church. It's a journey of faith formation, catechesis, and community that prepares individuals to receive the sacraments of initiation: Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist.
Our Solution
