When someone wants to become a Catholic they go through the OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation of Adults) program. This is a period of time where an individual has the chance to discern the Catholic Faith, and all that it provides, in a safe environment of people just like them! These are individuals who want to see if the Catholic Faith is the next step in their Faith journey to God!

Going through OCIA is similar to dating someone. Just because you start dating someone does not mean you will definitely marry them! The whole point is to find out if the two of you are right for each other! The same thing applies to OCIA. The OCIA program gives you an opportunity to get to know the Catholic Faith and decide if this is right for you. That way, when the day comes to join the church officially, you will do so confidently knowing that the Catholic Faith truly is where you want to be.

If you are ready to start the discernment process, the first step is to provide your contact information and then click the submit button. This will start your journey towards Catholicism!
