"But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and remind you of all that I have said to you." - John 14:26
Our Mission
The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults or OCIA is a ministry dedicated to the faith formation and full initiation of adults from other faith traditions or with no religious background at all, into the Roman Catholic faith.
In addition, adult Catholics who have not yet received all of their sacraments of initiation may also attend the sessions offered by the OCIA to receive the appropriate sacraments and complete their initiation.

What We Do
Are you curious about the Catholic faith? Have you considered becoming a Roman Catholic, but just did not know how? Do you know someone who would like to explore the Catholic traditions? Consider joining St. Augustine’s Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA).
We welcome adults with no religious background or those coming from other faith traditions, and baptized Catholics seeking to receive the Sacraments of Confirmation and/or Eucharist. We invite you to participate in this transformative spiritual journey towards a rich and fulfilling life in Christ.
We also recruit sponsors, who are responsible for introducing seekers (inquirers) to the parish faith community. If you are a baptized Catholic who has received all your Sacraments of Initiation and are practicing your Catholic faith, consider serving as a sponsor to those who are interested in the Catholic Church.
