OCIA Coordinators’ Latest Update: 05/02/2025
Come, Holy Spirit!
A New OCIA Begins May 5
(Order of Christian Initiation of Adults)
(for the previous week’s update, please scroll down and click the left arrow found towards the bottom of the screen)
As the worldwide Church prays for the soul of Pope Francis over nine days, beginning with his funeral last Saturday, the Church also prays for the Cardinal Electors who are gathered in Rome. We ask the Holy Spirit’s guidance for them in discerning God’s will in choosing who will best serve as the successor of the apostle Peter and the Vicar of Christ on earth in this moment in history. The Church’s focus is always on Christ and growing the Kingdom of God. Come, Holy Spirit!
Encountering Christ and growing God’s Kingdom is the purpose of our OCIA process. We welcome those searching for Christ and the Church as well as those already baptized seeking to deepen their relationship with Christ and the Catholic Church.
The OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation of Adults) is open to a) those seeking to be baptized, b) baptized Christians seeking full Communion with the Catholic Church and c) baptized Catholics seeking to complete their sacraments of initiation: Confirmation and/or Eucharist.
