What is OCIA?

The Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (OCIA) is a journey of faith for those seeking to explore or deepen their relationship with the Catholic Church. Through prayer, study, and community, OCIA guides participants toward full communion with the Church, including the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist.

Our program at St. Thomas Aquinas welcomes you to discover the beauty of the Catholic faith in a supportive and engaging environment.

Who Should Attend?

Curious Seekers of Truth

If you're exploring Catholicism, seeking answers about faith, or considering joining the Church, OCIA is for you. No prior knowledge is required—just an open heart.

Catholics

If you're a baptized Catholic looking to re-engage with your faith or complete sacraments like Confirmation, OCIA offers a path to renew and deepen your spiritual journey.
