Order of Christian Initiation for Teens
OCIT is the Order of Christian Initiation for Teens. This program is adapted from the Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (OCIA) to minister to teens who wish to learn and be formed in the Catholic Church. Teens will participate in an intentional small group that will help guide them through this time of spiritual formation. After this period of exploration and learning, teens will receive the sacrament of initiation they need (Baptism, First Communion, and/or Confirmation) to be fully brought into the Catholic Church at the Easter Vigil. All teens interested in learning more about the Catholic faith are welcome to join!
Sessions are on Sundays from 8:45 am to 10:15 am in the St. Francis Room.
This year, OCIT begins on August 3rd, 2025.
Order of Christian Initiation for Children
The Order of Christian Initiation of Children (OCIC) focuses on children in grades 3-7 who need preparation to celebrate the sacraments of Baptism, Reconciliation, and/or Eucharist. This program is adapted from the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) process, and the catechists focus on helping the children understand the sacraments celebrated as part of the Catholic faith community.
Sessions are on Sundays from 8:45 am to 10:15 am in the School Spanish Room.
This year, OCIC begins on August 3rd, 2025.
