Adult Formation

We invite you to attend OCIA if you are…
  • an adult who has never been baptized
  • a non-Catholic who has been baptized in another Christian denomination
  • a baptized Catholic who did not continue to receive First Communion and Confirmation
  • Catholics who want to learn more about their faith


  • OCIA at St Frances Cabrini

    OCIA is a seven-month series of weekly classes in preparation for reception of the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and First Communion at Easter, followed by another month of continued study. Adults explore the treasures of our Catholic faith. They learn about the person of Jesus and to develop an intimate friendship with our Savior through prayer, scripture study, exploration of Catholic beliefs and  practices, Eucharistic worship, and fellowship. The journey is marked by milestones along the way, public celebrations of a deepening acceptance of the Lord’s call.
