OCIA
Order of Christian Initiation for Adults, or OCIA, is the process by which those seeking the Catholic faith are instructed in scripture, dogma, and tradition of our faith. It is through this process that individuals receive the initiation sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist.
At Blessed Sacrament, the OCIA program is all that and much more. It is the goal of the team to provide those seeking our faith a safe, non-judgmental environment to fully discuss their questions or issues with the Church, while providing them the knowledge to begin their spiritual journey. Once their spiritual journey begins, they continue to provide information and support that hopefully leads these individuals to a lifetime of growth in Holiness.
OCIA is open to all those seeking the Faith. In the past they have had whole families, couples, and individuals enrolled in OCIA. Individuals that are married to Catholics, who have been going to Mass for years, and who have just decided to join the Church in full communion. All are welcome.
Class takes place after the 11:30am Mass on Sundays. Please contact the office for the scheduled days. There is no cost or obligation to join. So if you know of anyone, family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, or maybe the guy next to you in Church, that may benefit from OCIA, please invite them.
There is no need for pre-registration, but if there are additional questions please contact Brent Sowards.
