Order of Christian Initiation of Adults is a process for adults to become members of the Roman Catholic Church. OCIA was previously known as the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA). It is the process by which one is initiated — baptized, confirmed and receives the Eucharist — in the Catholic Church. Those interested in joining the Catholic Church please contact the office for more information.
