The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults is a program which familiarizes you with the beliefs and traditions of the Roman Catholic Church, helping you explore the core principles of Catholicism. It prepares you to fully embrace our faith community through the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist.
Becoming Catholic is about more than learning scripture and rituals; it's about discovering how to be a disciple of the Lord! We welcome all newcomers to the Catholic faith — whether unbaptized, baptized, seeking confirmation, or simply searching for God.
