Becoming Catholic (OCIA)
Whether you are a Catholic who never received Holy Eucharist or Confirmation, a Christian of another denomination investigating what the Catholic faith is about, a person from a non-Christian background looking to become Catholic, or even a Catholic who is interested in learning more about the faith, Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (OCIA) is the place for you.
The St. Francis Xavier OCIA program meets to explore the beauty of the Catholic faith through brief interactive talks and friendship. Other members of the SFX community join in the journey to help those exploring the faith, and to explore their own faith more deeply.
Through the OCIA program, candidates can prepare to receive the sacraments of initiation during the Easter Vigil Mass each Spring. Sacraments of initiation include any or all of the following Sacraments:
- Baptism
- First Holy Communion (Eucharist)
- Confirmation
