Order of Christian Initiation for Adults...O.C.I.A., is the program that the Catholic Church uses to share our faith with our non-Catholic brothers and sisters. If you or anyone you know may be interested in becoming Catholic, or are interested in learning more about the Catholic faith, please join us this fall.

 

If you are a validly baptized Christian and interested in the Catholic Church we can help you prepare for the sacraments of Holy Communion and Confirmation.

Already Catholic?? If you or someone you know is a baptized Catholic, and needs First Reconciliation & Holy Communion and/ or Confirmation, please contact Debbie Ridder in the Parish Office. She can help you to resume your path to full communion with the church.

 

Adult Confirmations are scheduled at the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart, in Pensacola. Each baptized Catholic not yet confirmed can and should receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. Baptism, the Eucharist, and the Sacrament of Confirmation together constitute the “sacraments of Christian initiation".
