OCIA
OCIA is for anyone interested in becoming Catholic or won-
dering how to take the next step in their sacramental journey.
In a meeting with me, we would work to gain a deeper under-
standing of:
• The Mass
• Prayer Life
• The Sacraments
• The Bible
• The Catechism
• Catholic Social Teaching
As Fr. Chris mentioned a couple of weeks ago, those wishing
to be baptized, receive the Eucharist, or be confirmed, or
just learn more about our faith are welcome. We will hold
classes from September to Easter. Please call the office if
you have any questions and I will respond immediately.

Nurturing Faith Together
Faith Formation for All Ages
Grades 1-12
Our Faith Formation program helps students grow in their relationship with God, understand the teachings of the Catholic Faith, and feel at home in our parish community. Through prayer, learning, service, and friendship, we help young peopel discover that faith is not only something we learn - it is something we live.
First Eucharist Grade 2
Second grade is a special year in the life of our students as they prepare to receive First Reconciliation and First Holy Eucharist. During this year, children grow in their understanding of God's love, learn about the Mass, and discover the gift of Jesus in the Eucharist. Our program works together with families to help each child feel comfortable, confident, and excited as they preepare to receive these sacraments.
Confirmation Grade 9+
Confirmation is offered to students in 9th Grade or older, as this sacrament calls young people to make a more personal step in their faith. During this time of preparation, candidates are encouraged to grow in their relationship with Jesus, learn more about the teachings of the Church, and become active members of the parish community. Our goal is to help each student feel confident, supported, and ready to say "yes" to the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
