oCIA is primarily a journey of faith. It is a restoration of the ancient practice of initiation in the church. It is focused on conversion, whereby the candidates enter into an extended period of formation & conversion through prayer & reflection on the Gospels. It is also a communal journey in which the church community ritually celebrates conversion at various points during the journey. The OCIA is not a program but a sacramental process in which candidates are fully initiated into the Catholic faith. OCIA Team Members: Fr.
