A process for preparing adults to receive only the Sacrament of Confirmation.  Please call Lerma Simpson for more information, 408-223-1770 x316.

The Order of Christian Initiation is a process for welcoming adult inquirers into the Catholic Church. It is designed to meet the needs of those who are:

• baptized in another faith, but want instruction and initiation into the Catholic faith;

• baptized Catholics, but have little or no Catholic teaching, and have not received the sacraments of Eucharist and Confirmation.

Entering the OCIA process is NOT a commitment to join the Catholic Church, but is an introduction to our faith.
