OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation of Adults)
Coordinators: Deacon Joby Perez [email protected] This is the formation for those adults called to a conversion of mind and heart. Its is a preparation for a full and active life in the church as disciples of Jesus. This process involves weekly hour and a half sessions usually beginning in September and continue for a month or so after Easter. During the process, adults participate in the liturgical rites that both mark the progress of their journey and form them deeply by God's grace. The culmination of that ritual process is the celebration of the sacraments of Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation during the Easter Vigil.
