DISCOVER THE CATHOLIC FAITH:

The Catholic Church was founded by Jesus Christ himself! It is a community rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ, offering a path of spiritual growth, service, and a sense of belonging. Whether you are new to Christianity, already a Christian, or simply seeking a deeper understanding, our OCIA program is designed to guide you through the process of becoming a Catholic.

WHAT IS OCIA?

It is a process through which individuals are introduced to Catholic beliefs and practices, preparing them for the sacraments of initiation: Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist. Through a series of sessions, discussions, and communal experiences, you will have the opportunity to ask questions, share your story, and grow in faith.
