Becoming Catholic (OCIA)
Order of Christian Initiation for Adults
The program for Becoming Catholic, officially called OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation for Adults), is for non-Catholic inidividuals who are interested in learning more about our faith, and for Baptized Catholics that have not yet received Sacrament of Eucharist and/or Confirmation. This ministry is open to the members of St. Philip who are willing to become part of the facilitating team or would like to be a sponsor for non-Catholic individuals.
Meetings for those seeking to learn more and the sponsors are held year round on Sunday afternoons from 12:15 to 2:15pm (lunch provided). Team members provide support as catechists (teachers), sponsor contact, hospitality ministers and other roles as needed.
