Christian Initiation (OCIA/RCIA)
Interested in becoming Catholic or completing your Sacraments of Initiation? Our Christian Initiation Program (OCIA-Order of Christian Initiation of Adults, formerly RCIA) welcomes adults seeking to explore the Catholic faith, grow in relationship with Christ, and prepare for Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist. It is for non-Catholic and non-baptized adults who wish to explore the teachings of the Catholic Church and grow in their faith to become fully-initiated members of the Church. It is also for baptized Catholics adults who have not yet received Penance, Holy Communion, and/or Confirmation. Those Catholics who have received all their sacraments and simply want to learn more about their faith are also invited to attend. Sessions begin in the fall with the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Eucharist administered at the Easter Vigil Mass accordingly. Contact Father Artman at 610-543-1046 or email him.
Here are some resources to assist you as you undertake your journey to becoming a Catholic:
