OCIA is a training program for adults who are interested in joining the Catholic faith. It is a catechism (education) that is used by the Catholic Church at large, and is approved by our Bishop. Those who are interested in joining the program should contact Father Andrew Bednarowicz.

OCIA can start at any time of the year. The length of time depends on the individual circumstances (ie: already baptized, some CCD in past, no prior religious education etc...)   OCIA can be adapted for those who need all of the sacraments or for those who were baptized but need some of the other sacraments. Those who complete the training can become full members of the Catholic Church and receive Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation.
