Adult Enrichment Course Offering
New courses are coming soon!
OCIA Christian Initiation of Adults
Many may be familiar with the RCIA program, which was renamed OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation for Adults). OCIA enables those who were never baptized or have no formal faith background, those who were baptized in another Christian church who would like to become Catholic, and Catholics who never received all the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Communion and Confirmation) to receive sacraments and be fully initiated into the Catholic faith. It is the work of the Holy Spirit that brings people to OCIA, but often the Holy Spirit works through the encouragement of a friend or family member. If you know someone who is interested in the Catholic faith or in completing their Sacraments please have them reach out to Deacon Carlito (This email address is being protected from spambots.

Pre-Cana Team
Pre-Cana is a marriage preparation class for couples who will be married in the Catholic Church. The purpose of marriage preparation is not to be another hoop to jump through, but it is meant to facilitate discussions about important topics that couples will be facing in married life. The marriage prep process is an opportunity for engaged couples to look forward toward their new life together, making sure they are on the same page as a couple, and ready to face this exciting journey as one. We are looking for couples who have been married in the Catholic Church for at least 10 years to be part of the PreCana team. Typical responsibilities may include:
- Planning, coordinating, and running group meetings
- Collaborating with team members to define group procedures and develop relevant questions or discussion prompts.
- Leading group discussions and keeping them on track.
- Encouraging group participants to share their honest thoughts and opinions.
