The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) is a formation process for participants to grow in their relationship with God. The journey is open to adults from many different backgrounds: those never baptized, those baptized in another Christian faith who want to learn more about the Catholic Faith, Catholics who have not received Eucharist and/ or Confirmation.
For more information about our OCIA program, please contact Terri Schiller, Director of Pastoral Studies at tschiller@charter.net, or call the parish office at (262) 675-2298.
