This journey you are on is your journey. Your eternal salvation is based on your desire and discernment of the truth. We want you to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and to encounter the beauty and genuineness of the faith that Jesus Christ left for His church. All year round, adults inquire what the Catholic Church is about and search for a place to belong. WE ARE EXCITED FOR YOU TO JOIN US!

The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) is a conversion process in which you encounter Christ through evangelization, community, doctrinal instruction, and spiritual formation. You will enter into a deeper relationship with Christ and explore how your faith journey fits into salvation history. We truly desire that you have a tangible discernment experience that leads you to personally want this for yourself. We will walk (not run) with you at your pace, on your time. Our ultimate goal is to help you get to heaven and your desire to want to help others get to heaven. We are here to make you a disciple of Christ and in turn, the fire from within burns so bright that you want others whom you meet, work, and live with to have this same fire!
