The Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (OCIA) program is available for adults who are not Catholic and wish to receive more education in the Faith, especially in preparation for the reception of the sacraments.
The program is open to anyone who wishes to learn more about the Catholic faith with the intention of entering the Catholic Church.
The full OCIA program for the 2026-2027 year begins on Wednesday, September 9th, 7:00pm-8:30pm in the IHM Conference Room at the school and continues weekly through April. We ask that people who intend to enter the Church attend the classes regularly, live in a manner consistent with the faith, and discern prayerfully their calling. If one cannot attend the regular classes on a consistent basis, please call the parish for other arrangements.
