OCIA - Order of Christian Initiation of Adults

We welcome all who want to journey in faith, realizing that we all come with our own life experiences. Whatever your background, you are welcome and valued.

What is OCIA?

The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults is a process in which adults desire to explore the Catholic faith and come together to learn, pray, and share life experiences in order to come to know our loving God. With the support of the parish community and working with a team of adult catechists, people interested in preparing for any/all of the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Eucharist, Confirmation) will be guided to a deeper understanding and relationship with God, lived out through the Church.

By sharing faith conviction, spiritual insights, and enthusiasm for their life within the Church, they help others who are exploring what it means to be Catholic to make that faith commitment for themselves. Anyone interested in journeying through faith to receive the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and/or Eucharist, please contact Brenda in the Parish Office at 781-894-3481 x2 or email parish@olca.org and she will have someone from the OCIA team reach out to you.

If you have completed the Sacraments of Initiation and are willing to share your faith with others by joining this ministry, please contact us.
