What is OCIA? OCIA, the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults, is the normal way in which adults become full, active, participating members of the Catholic Church.

OCIA is not merely a way to prepare adults for baptism, nor is it a "convert class". It is a process of learning and faith formation. The goal of the process is full communion in the Eucharist and in the whole life of the Catholic faith community.

It involves the whole parish - in prayer as the rites are celebrated, in hospitality as new members are welcomed, and in specific ministries like sponsor and team member. OCIA helps adults to grow in their relationship with God, become familiar with Catholic teachings and practices, get acquainted with people in the parish, and get involved in service within the parish or the wider community.

Many persons who want to join the Catholic Church have already been baptized in another Christian Church. They will not be re-baptized. The program is tailored to the individual, based on particular needs and concerns of Christians from another faith tradition.
