An OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation of Adults) class is a program of instruction and formation for adults who are interested in becoming Catholic. The OCIA is a process by which adults learn about the Catholic faith, prepare for the sacraments of initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, and the Eucharist), and enter into full communion with the Church.
Topics taught in OCIA Class include:
The OCIA class typically consists of weekly sessions that are led by a trained catechist (instructor) and may include other members of the parish community. The sessions are structured to provide a comprehensive introduction to the Catholic faith and to help participants grow in their understanding and practice of the faith.
The OCIA class is an important part of the process of becoming a Catholic, and it provides adults with the opportunity to ask questions, learn about the faith, and grow in their relationship with God. It is open to anyone who is interested in learning more about the Catholic Church and may be particularly helpful for those who have never been baptized, those who were baptized in another Christian denomination, and those who were baptized Catholic but have not received the other sacraments of initiation.
Adult Catholics who did not complete their sacraments of initiation and still need to receive First Holy Communion and Confirmation also prepare by attending OCIA Class.
