OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation for Adults)
OCIA, (Order of Christian Initiation for Adults), formerly known as RCIA is a process developed by the Catholic Church for prospective converts and Catholics who have yet to be confirmed and is open to those who are above the age of infant baptism. Candidates are gradually introduced to aspects of Catholic beliefs and practices. Classes are always open to practicing confirmed Catholics as well if you would like to refresh and relearn your faith! If you are interested in joining the Catholic Church, please contact our office at (605) 428-3990. For more information about Sacraments of Initiation, CLICK HERE
