Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA)


The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults is the way for those over the age of 16 to receive the Sacraments of Initiation and be received into the Catholic Faith. You may be interested in joining us if you:

  • have not been baptized;

  • have been baptized in another Christian faith; or

  • are looking to complete Catholic Sacraments of Initiation (Confirmation, First Holy Communion).

Classes for adults meet weekly on Monday evenings from September through March. Our textbook is This is Our Faith by Michael Pennock and Confirmation classes for youth ages 13-16 are also available upon request.

Questions? Please contact Deacon Mark Nowakowski at (267) 972-1045 or mnowakowski@sbgparish.org.
