OCIA: Order of Christian Initiation for Adults
Preparation
OCIA sessions for the immediate preparation are held yearly. Topics cover a study of the Sacraments of Initiation with emphasis on Confirmation. Classes sessions begin in September for those candidates who wish to receive the sacraments of Baptism, First Holy Communion, and/or Confirmation by the following Easter. The Bishop comes to the parish to confer the Sacrament of Confirmation each spring. If you are interested, please complete a registration form and return it to the Parish Office.
"Confirmation deepens our baptismal life that calls us to be missionary witnesses of Jesus Christ in our families, neighborhoods, society, and the world. . . . We receive the message of faith in a deeper and more intensive manner with great emphasis given to the person of Jesus Christ, who asked the Father to give the Holy Spirit to the Church for building up the community in loving service." - from The Catechism of The Catholic Church
