The Order Of Christian Initiation For Adults (OCIA) is the process by which our Parish Community assists
men and women to respond to God’s call, to become fully initiated into the Church through the reception
of the Sacraments of Baptism, Holy Communion, and Confirmation.

The process begins in August/September and concludes at the Pentecost Sunday the following year.

Reception of the Sacraments of Baptism, Holy Communion, and Confirmation will be celebrated on Easter Vigil.


If you or someone you know has not been baptized, have been baptized in another Christian faith, or have not received First Communion, then please join Blessed Sacrament Parish for formation.
