OCIA - Interested in Becoming Catholic?
Curious about the Faith? Join us this fall for OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation of Adults)! This year, we are excited to journey together using the newly updated Symbolon: The Catholic Faith Explained — a beautifully produced, 16-part video series designed for seekers, those thinking about becoming Catholic, or Catholics who want to deepen their understanding.
Our schedule thoughtfully includes holiday breaks and extra rest days so participants can reflect, pray, and enjoy the season without feeling overwhelmed. Over these months, you’ll discover what Catholics believe, why we worship as we do, and how faith transforms daily life.
Whether you’ve been attending Mass with family, exploring what it means to follow Christ, or are simply curious - you are welcome here.
For more information or to sign up contact Father Joe Connelly: or 651-789-3188
