The Order of Christian Initiation

O.C.I.A. is designed for individuals who, after hearing the Mystery of Christ proclaimed, consciously and freely seek the Living God through the Catholic Church, and enter the way of faith and conversion as the Holy Spirit opens their hearts. By God’s help, they will be strengthened spiritually during their preparation, and at the proper time will receive the Sacraments of Initiation, which includes Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist.

If you are over 18 years old, register for R.C.I.A. by filling out the Registration Form and submitting it by email to OCIA Inquiry or mail it to the cathedral office.

O.C.I.A. is also available for teens and children. They will be followed up by a member of the OCIA Team as they participate with their families in the Family Formation.

You may register your child through the Family Faith Formation process at top of this page.
