Order Of Christian Initiation Of Adults (OCIA)
The term OCIA stands for the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults. OCIA consists of a series of stages of preparation, as well as rites (rituals). The OCIA originated in the earliest traditions of the Church for welcoming new members into the Catholic community. OCIA is for people of all walks of life: those who have never been baptized, baptized in another Christian faith and are interested in becoming a Catholic, people raised in other faiths; people who were baptized Catholic but were not raised Catholic; people with no religious background at all. The OCIA is designed to meet you where you are, and to walk with you on your journey of faith. We also welcome those adults who wish to make their Confirmation. For more information please contact Deacon Morrison (337) 235-6323.
Order Of Christian Initiation For Teens (OCIT)
The Order of Christian Initiation for Teens (O.C.I.T.) is the process by which our youth become Catholic.

Applications for O.C.I.T. for Teens are made through the Director of Religious Education, Mrs. Lana Pierre (337) 247-9922. Register Here for CCD Classes including First Communion and Confirmation.
