The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA), formerly RCIA, welcomes and initiates those who choose to become Catholic by providing Catholic Christian formation. OCIA is for adults who have never been baptized as a Christian, and for adults who have been baptized in another Christian faith and now want to be Catholic. Our OCIA program begins in September.
Becoming Catholic is a remarkable process that will change how you see the world. Want to learn more? Call us at 714-826-0760 or send an email.
