Learn More About the Faith

Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (O.C.I.A.) at Saint Patrick

Exploring the Catholic Faith

Are you looking to learn more about the Catholic faith? Perhaps you have walked into St. Patrick out of curiosity. Maybe you have a friend or relative who is Catholic and you want to know more about what holds their spiritual interest. Or perhaps you were baptized in the Catholic Church or another Christian tradition and wish to complete your Sacraments of Initiation (Eucharist and Confirmation).

The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (O.C.I.A.) is a welcoming process of inquiry, prayer, and study for adults interested in learning about the teachings and practices of the Catholic Church.

Weekly Schedule & Meeting Location

Classes meet each Sunday at 9:30 AM in the basement of the rectory. To access the conference room, enter through the gate to the right of the church and proceed down the steps to the room under the rectory porch.
