Christian Initiation (OCIA/RCIA)
Interested in becoming Catholic or completing your Sacraments of Initiation? Our Christian Initiation (OCIA-Order of Christian Initiation of Adults, formerly RCIA) program welcomes adults seeking to explore the Catholic faith, grow in relationship with Christ, and prepare for Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist. Designed to welcome new non-Catholic baptized adults or any unbaptized person over the age of 7 into the Catholic Church, the Christian Initiation program also leads every Catholic parishioner to deeper belief and the renewal of his/her Christian faith. 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.
