The Fall cohorts begin the week of November 16. We host 2 cohorts, Mondays at Saint Clement and Thursdays at St. Teresa of Avila on Armitage, at Kenmore, just west of the Brown Line. You can choose either day or indicate that you are flexible for either day. We meet from 7 - 8:30 p.m. with time off for holidays. Our sessions include content, discussion and Scripture reflection. Sacraments will be celebrated at the Easter Vigil on March 27, 2027. REGISTER HERE for OCIA!
