ADULT CONFIRMATION
A process for preparing adults (all who are 18 years of age and older) 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.
