Order of Christian Intitation (OCIA/RCIA)
The Order of Christian Intitation is the program designed to help those interested in becoming Catholic learn about the faith and take the necessary steps to enter the Church. For our parishes, we have a 5 month program begining the first week of February and ending on Pentacost. It is a tradition of the Church for those to enter into the Church to do so the night of the Easter Vigil, the greatest celebration of the Church of Jesus' Death and Resurection. The program will take place during the 10am Mass. OCIA catechumens Will come to Mass then after the Homily, will go downstairs to Dillenburg Hall to take part in the prepatory courses offered by a member of the formation team.
