Exploring Catholicism: OCIA
The Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (OCIA) is traditionally a process of welcoming non-baptized adults, or adults baptized in another faith tradition, into our Catholic family. It is a time of inquiry, learning, prayer, and community. The order is also an opportunity for baptized Catholics who wish to prepare for Confirmation, Eucharist, and Reconciliation, to do so at the pace that's right for them. Furthermore, since this process examines all significant aspects of the Catholic faith and creates an environment for asking questions and learning the fundamentals, it is also a great place for lifetime Catholics to revisit some of the most essential parts of the faith and renew their understanding.
All "Exploring Catholicism (OCIA)" sessions will meet at the Saint Rose of Lima Parish Center, located at 2048 Hamline Avenue, Roseville.
"Exploring Catholicism (OCIA)" meets most Thursday evenings from 6:30 PM- to 8:00 PM, October through May, at Saint Rose of Lima in the Parish Center St Paul Room. Alternate times can be arranged.
