Are you interested in the Catholic faith? Do you feel God is inviting you to a deeper relationship with him? Would you like to become part of our faith community?

We warmly welcome you and invite you to learn more about the beliefs and practices of the Catholic Church. The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) is the process through which the Church instructs new adult members and forms them in our way of life. This program is for anyone who has not received Baptism, non-Catholics baptized in other Christian churches, and Catholics who have not yet received First Holy Communion and Confirmation.

We meet weekly for instruction and formation. If you are interested in joining us, please contact the Parish Office, and someone will reach out to you promptly. We look forward to speaking with you and assure you of our friendship and support.

OCIA in English meets Saturdays from 8:30 AM to 10:30 AM and is led by Rev. Robinson Olivares

OCIA (Spanish): Sundays at 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM and is led by Ms. Milagros Robles
