— Ezekiel 36:26
What Is OCIA?
OCIA is the process through which adults are formed in the Catholic faith and prepared to enter into full communion with the Church. Through prayer, formation, and community, participants grow in faith and relationship with Christ.
At St. John the Baptist, OCIA begins in the summer and is a two-year journey of faith.
Who Can Join?
