Grace, mercy, and peace to you!
1 Timothy 1:2
OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation for Adults) which was formerly known as RCIA is a program for those aged 13 and older who would like to receive the sacraments of initiation (baptism, first communion, and confirmation). OCIC (Order of Christian Initiation for Children) is a program for older children to receive sacramental preparation for baptism and first communion. For more information about participating in OCIA or OCIC, contact Cindy Novak in the parish office or at cnovak@churchofsttimothy.com. If you feel called to accompany someone discerning joining the Catholic faith as a OCIA sponsor, contact Cindy.
All OCIA sessions will be held from 6:30-8 p.m. in room 102 of the parish center. From the main entrance of the parish center, go downstairs (elevator is available), turn right, and walk past the nursery. Sessions are held on Monday evenings; rites and rituals are incorporated into weekend Masses.
