Order of Christian Initiation of Adults
The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults process is a series of carefully planned stages, marked by liturgical rites in the presence of the Good Shepherd community, in which new Catholics embark on and join us in a continuing and deepening conversion of faith and discipleship. The OCIA takes the distinctive history and spiritual needs of each person into account. For more information, contact Rich or Sharon Dorricott at sdorricott@frontier.com.
You are invited to join this class of adults desiring Baptism, Holy Communion, and Confirmation on the road to Full Reception in the Catholic Church.
