ST. ROSE OF LIMA CATHOLIC CHURCH

OCIA at St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church

The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) is a transformative journey for those exploring or deepening their connection with the Catholic faith. Whether you are considering joining the Church, seeking a deeper understanding, or a baptized Catholic aiming to complete your initiation sacraments, OCIA offers a structured and supported path.

Phases of OCIA:
1. Inquiry: A welcoming stage for those curious about Catholicism. Dive into foundational topics like "Your Journey of Faith," "What Do Catholics Believe?", and the significance of the Mass.
2. Catechumenate: For those committed to joining the Church, this phase offers formal instruction on sacraments, Church history, and moral teachings.
3. Lent: A solemn period of reflection and preparation for Easter, focusing on core Christian beliefs and practices.
4. Mystagogy: Post-initiation, this phase emphasizes deepening understanding and living out the faith daily.

Special Paths:
- Baptized Christian Adults: For those baptized in other Christian traditions.
- Baptized Roman Catholic Adults: For those baptized Catholics aiming to complete other initiation sacraments.

Join Us:
If the Catholic faith calls to you, or if you wish to support others on this journey, we invite you to explore OCIA. Your journey of faith awaits, and we are here to guide and support you every step of the way.
