The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) is a process where those new to the faith learn to pattern their lives on Jesus. His love unites us, strengthens us and sets us free. In this process folks encounter hope and healing. Our elect and candidates discover who we are as people of the Eucharist, people of Christ. This is transformational!
The Sacraments of Initiation are Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist. They are moments of contact with Christ where, as a community, we celebrate what God has done, is doing and will continue to do in our lives.
