The Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (OCIA) is a comprehensive program designed to guide adults through the process of learning about and joining the Catholic faith, culminating in the Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist. The St. Gaspar Family of Parishes offers opportunities to participate in OCIA at two locations, providing a welcoming environment for those seeking to deepen their understanding of Catholicism and become fully initiated into the Church.
