Order of Christian Initiation of Adults
Our Lady of Mount Carmel wants to welcome you Home! The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults, or OCIA program, consists of a community of people who are seeking to become disciples of Jesus in the Catholic faith. If you or someone you know has a desire to join us and enter into full communion with the Catholic Church, through the Sacraments of Baptism, Reconciliation, Holy Eucharist and Confirmation, please know that we want to journey with you as we learn, explore, and grow as disciples.
To inquire about OCIA, please email Christine Weyer.
