Our parish RCIA program has a new name! For the past several decades, Catholic parishes have used the acronym RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) to refer to the process for adults becoming Catholic. On December 1, 2024, a new translation (from Latin to English) was released with a new title, Order of Christian Initiation of Adults or OCIA. For more information about the new translation or our parish OCIA program, please see below.
