Contact: Allen Stone or Al Schmid | (760) 753-6254
The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the official process that serves to welcome and inform participants about the Catholic Faith and leads to becoming fully initiated Catholics. The process usually starts in September and concludes the following April. During this time, there will be weekly evening meeting and the requirement to become a registered member of the parish and attend Mass on weekends. OCIA is appropriate for those who are:
- Baptized Catholics who have not received their other sacraments and do not have a knowledge of the Catholic Faith
- Baptized Non-Catholics
- Unbaptized
