The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) is the process of learning about and becoming part of the Catholic Church. The OCIA is a period of preparation extending over the course of a year or more. The OCIA process is appropriate for adults who have not yet been baptized, for those who were baptized in another faith tradition, and for those who were baptized Catholic but not raised within the Catholic faith. OCIA meets weekly throughout the year at Holy Cross Parish.
OCIA Sponsors need to be a Catholic in good standing and be able to attend OCIA classes on Thursday evenings. If you are interested in learning more, contact Deacon Fred & Beth Karpuk.
