The Order of Christian Initiation for Adults, OCIA, is for anyone interested in learning more about the Catholic Church and her beliefs. 

Adult Inquiry classes (OCIA) are for adults who have not been baptized, have not made their First Communion, or were not Confirmed. It is also for those who are not Catholic and would like to learn more about what the Church teaches. Lastly it is for those who have been away from the Church for any length of time who would like to delve deeper into the richness of the Catholic faith.

Classes begin on Monday, October 7, 2024. They will be held on Mondays from 6:30-8 PM.

Sessions are informal and focus on the teachings and traditions of the Church. You are welcome to bring your own unique story to a friendly setting. For questions or more information contact Bob Wentz at bpwentz@gmail.com.

OCIC is for children ages 8-18 and their parents: classes are scheduled as needed throughout the year by speaking to Fr. Andrzej Wyrostek, awyrostek@olbh.org.
