THE ORDER OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF ADULTS
The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults is designed for adults who after hearing the mystery of Christ proclaimed, consciously and freely seek the living God and enter the way of faith and conversion as the Holy Spirit opens their heart. It is a journey of study in the Catholic faith leading to full communion into the Catholic Church after serious discernment. All are welcome to explore the richness of the Catholic Church in all its teachings and love of Jesus Christ.
Common Question- Must I make a commitment to Catholicism to participate in this program?
You do not have to make a commitment to Catholicism; however, we do ask you to come to our sessions and let the Holy Spirit guide. We realize that many people are searching and need to know more about the Church before they make such a commitment. - I was baptized a Methodist, Baptist, etc. Must I be re-baptized in order to join the Catholic Church?
If your have had a valid Baptism you will not have to be baptized again.
Session have begun and you are welcomed to join us!
