Interested in learning more about becoming Catholic?
Are you hearing a quiet, still voice within, urging you to learn more about the Catholic faith?
Do you find yourself coming to St. Michael Parish for Mass and wanting to be more involved in our faith community?
Do you long for a deeper relationship with God?
Order of Christian Initiation for Adults
The Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (OCIA) is a guided faith journey that leads to the initiation sacraments of Baptism, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation. The initiation journey is for adults who:
are not baptized and wish to enter the Catholic Church
have been baptized in another faith tradition and wish to enter the Catholic Church
are baptized Catholic and would like to complete their sacraments of initiation
Those beginning the process will start with informal sessions, leading to a more structured preparation for full initiation into the Catholic Church. Adult Groups meet weekly on Tuesdays at 6:30 PM.
Order of Christian Initiation Adapted for Children and Youth
The Order of Christian Initiation Adapted for Children and Youth (OCICY) is a process that involves any child age 7 to 17 interested in discovering what the Catholic Church teaches and believes. It is open to:
unbaptized children
children baptized in another faith
children who may be baptized but who have not practiced their Catholic faith regularly.
Like the Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (OCIA), this process is accomplished in a comfortable, friendly, and informal environment designed for children and youth.
The OCICY Group meets weekly during the 11:15 AM Mass on Sundays.
