What is OCIA all about?

The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) is a journey - a journey one makes together with the Catholic community in search of God. The OCIA presents non-Catholics with an in-depth study of our faith with no obligation to be baptized. Some of the topics include The Mystery of God, Mary, the Communion of Saints, the Popes, Church Councils, Church History, the Bible, Sacraments and many more. There are days of prayer and retreat. And, of course, there are days of fun and fellowship.
