OCIA: Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) is the process whereby people join the Catholic Church. In St. Philip’s Church it begins each September on the 2nd Monday and the following Mondays. This time is used for discernment, to answer basic question about the Faith and to gather necessary information for entry into the Church. This is followed by instruction in the teachings of the Catholic Church and prayers, culminating with reception into the Catholic Church at the Easter Vigil.
