The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) is the process through which adults learn about the Catholic faith and prepare to enter the Church through the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Eucharist. OCIA is also open to baptized Christians who wish to become Catholic, as well as Catholics who have not yet received all of their Sacraments of Initiation.

Through prayer, study, discussion, and fellowship, participants are guided in their journey of faith while learning about the teachings, traditions, and sacramental life of the Catholic Church. If you are interested in becoming Catholic or would like to learn more about the faith, we invite you to contact the parish office for information about joining the OCIA program.

Adult Faith Formation

Faith Formation is a lifelong journey, and Saint Agnes Parish invites adults of all ages to continue growing in their relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church. Throughout the year, parishioners have opportunities to deepen their faith through seasonal studies, presentations, and spiritual enrichment programs. Special gatherings are typically offered during Advent and Lent, with additional opportunities provided as schedules permit.

As our Adult Faith Formation program continues to grow, we hope to expand our offerings with guest speakers, parish missions, and other opportunities for learning and fellowship. Whether you are seeking a deeper understanding of the Catholic faith or simply looking to strengthen your spiritual life, we welcome you to join us on this journey of faith.
