Becoming Catholic
The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) is for adults who want to join the Catholic faith, or simply learn more about it.
Never baptized
Receive Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist
OCIA prepares you for all three Sacraments of Initiation, usually at the Easter Vigil.
Baptized in another Christian tradition
Enter into full communion
Your baptism is honored. You prepare to make a profession of faith and receive Confirmation and Eucharist.
