OCIA stands for the Order of Christian Initiation for Adults. It is the process whereby one becomes a full member of the Catholic Faith.

Who can join OCIA?

• Any non-Catholic individual seeking to become a member of the Catholic Faith.
• Any Catholic individual who has not received the Sacraments of Eucharist or Confirmation.
• Any individual, Catholic or non-Catholic, who would like to learn more about the Catholic Faith.

There are many persons who have practiced the Catholic faith of his/her spouse for years but have never made a formal profession of faith in the Catholic Church. Consider reaching out to the Church to inquire about the process of becoming a Catholic.

Please contact Matthew Schmidt to inquire about OCIA or if you have any questions about the Catholic Faith: mschmidt@assumptioncatholicchurch.org
