OCIA/ OICA

The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) is a program designed for adults, aged 18 years or older. The OCIA is the process by which the unbaptized, and baptized Christians of other faith traditions, may explore, discover, and deepen a relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ and enter into Christian discipleship, lived in and strengthened through the sacraments of the Catholic Church. The OCIA is a ritual process, as opposed to a program, characterized by an awakening or conversion of the heart that leads one to a life of Christian discipleship. The sacraments of initiation are Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist; these sacraments are the foundations of the Christian life, and through them, we enter into the mystery of Jesus Christ’s saving death and Resurrection.

OCIA is also open to those returning to the church or those who are interested in learning more about their faith.  We would like to invite you to join us.

The process begins when you contact the Ministry Center at Holy Trinity parish.  We have a conversation with you about your faith journey and how the OCIA process works.

Classes commence on the Tuesday evening after Labor day from 7pm to 8:30pm to assist those who are inquiring or seeking further information. The classes are interactive, fun and interesting. Presented in both English (OCIA) and Spanish (OICA) by experienced and qualified instructors.  Classes will be taught by Fr. Anthony.

Class meetings are held on Tuesday evenings in the Parish Hall from 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. 

If you would like additional information about this process,

 please contact the Ministry Center 619.444.9425.
