“In the sacraments of Christian initiation we are freed from the power of darkness and joined to Christ’s death, burial and resurrection. We receive the Spirit of filial adoption and are part of the entire people of God in the celebration of the memorial of the Lord’s death and resurrection” (OCIA, n.1). The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults or the OCIA is a process for those who:

• have not been baptized
• have been baptized in another faith tradition 
• have been been baptized as a Catholic but is uncatechized, or has not received the Sacraments of Eucharist and/or Confirmation

They are seeking full initiation into the Catholic Church through the reception of the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Eucharist, Confirmation) and meet together weekly for study and discernment.
