Becoming Catholic - OCIA / RICA
Adults interested in learning more about our Catholic faith may register in our adult initiation program, known as the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) or Ritual de la Iniciación Cristiana de Adultos (RICA). After participating, candidates who want to join the Catholic Church may celebrate the Sacraments of Initiation at our Easter Vigil liturgy.
This program is for you if either of the following is true:
- You have NOT been baptized and want to receive Baptism, First Eucharist and Confirmation in the Catholic Church.
- You have been baptized in another denomination of the Christian faith but would like to receive the sacraments of the Holy Eucharist and Confirmation in the Catholic Church.
