Order of Christian Initiation of Adults and Confirmation Preparation
The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA), previously known as RCIA, is for anyone who is not currently Catholic. OCIA is a series of classes to explore more about Catholic beliefs. Upon the completion of the first half of the class, individuals may choose to continue to the sacramental portion of the class. During the sacramental portion of the class, individuals prepare for baptism (if unbaptized), Reconciliation, Eucharist and Confirmation. This class is open to current 不良研究所 students, faculty and staff. Persons under the age of 18 are encouraged to receive their sacraments through their home parish. Students preparing for Confirmation must also freely choose to be confirmed, attend Mass regularly and practice the precepts of the faith.
