Become Catholic
Welcome to OCIA
The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) is a journey of faith for adults who want to learn more about the Catholic Church, become Catholic, or complete their Sacraments. Whether you are just curious about the faith, were baptized in another Christian tradition, or are a baptized Catholic who still needs First Communion or Confirmation, you are welcome here.
At St. Eugene Catholic Church, OCIA is more than a class — it is a community where people grow in faith, ask questions, and walk together toward Christ.
Who Is OCIA For?
OCIA is for:
- Adults interested in becoming Catholic
- Baptized Christians from other denominations
- Baptized Catholics needing First Communion or Confirmation
- Adults wanting to grow deeper in their Catholic faith
Anyone searching for answers about God, the Church, and the Sacraments
No prior knowledge is needed. Questions are always welcome.
What to Expect
Our OCIA sessions include:
- Scripture and Catholic teaching
- Open discussion and questions
- Prayer and community fellowship
- Guidance through the Sacraments
- Support from catechists, sponsors, and clergy
We offer both English and Spanish opportunities for formation.
Program Details
Our OCIA program at St. Eugene Catholic Church runs from September through Easter, offering adults the opportunity to learn about the Catholic faith, deepen their relationship with Christ, and prepare to receive the Sacraments of Initiation.
We offer in-person classes in English and Spanish, as well as an online option in English for those unable to attend in person.
