Thirsting for God? Do you know someone not baptized or baptized in a non-Catholic Christian tradition, who is thirsting for what it means to become Catholic? Do you know someone already Catholic but has not yet received Confirmation & Communion? They may be thirsting too! The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) is a place to ask questions and seek understanding.

The Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (OCIA)
A Journey of Faith: Since Jesus invited His first followers to, “Come, follow me,” the image of journey has been used to describe Christian discipleship. For each of us faith is a journey marked with moments of conversion along the way… we move from unbelief to initial faith, from sin to repentance, from painful isolation to the joyful experience of a loving community, from fear to love.
Faith, Conversion, Repentance, Celebration and Community – five basic elements that are present in the Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (OCIA). OCIA provides a setting where the journey of faith and moments of conversion can be celebrated within the local Church community here at St. Monica. The purpose of the OCIA is literally “the making of Christians”, for as Tertullian in the 4th century wrote, “Christians are made, not born.”
