The Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (OCIA) is the process of becoming Roman Catholic which finds its roots in the early Christian Church. 3 years was the original length of the course, but in the modern era has shortened to about 7 months. OCIA classes at St. Paul's meets on Sundays from 9:45am-11:00am. It begins on October 11th and culminates with candidates' Full Initiation to the Catholic Church on Easter Vigil (March 27, 2027) and finishes at the end of the BSU school year as we help candidates live out their new faith in the world. We're excited to be a part of your journey in becoming Catholic!
