Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA)

OCIA is for those who

  • have never been baptized
  • have been baptized in another Christian tradition

This journey of faith is designed to provide a study of the Catholic beliefs and practices at an adult level for those interested in becoming full members of the Catholic Church.

For some, it is a time to discern whether to join the Catholic Church. Others may have decided to join.

Weekly sessions begin the third Thursday in September. Date and time TBA

If interested, contact Sister Marie at the parish  (205) 384-4800, Ext 102 or via email by completing the form below.
