Becoming Catholic for Adults - OCIA

- Welcome! We are so pleased that you have felt called to become part of the Catholic faith. Each year on Holy Saturday, during the Easter Vigil, thousands are baptized into the Catholic Church in the United States. The way in which the baptized Christian or the unbaptized person journeys to become Roman Catholic, ultimately celebrating the Real Presence at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is through OCIA, which stands for the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults. Each stage of this journey is ritually celebrated and recognized with special prayers and liturgical ceremony in the presence of the parish.
  Who is OCIA for? Adults (18 years or older) who are:
  Seeking Baptism for the first time
  A baptized non-Catholic Christian desiring to become Catholic
  A baptized Catholic adult in need of First Communion and/or Confirmation
  For Catholics who desire to grow deeper in their faith
- At St. Brigid Parish, we warmly welcome all who are interested in journeying with us in faith.
  Whether you're not Catholic or haven’t yet received all of your sacraments, we invite you to explore the Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (OCIA).
  If you’d like to learn more or are ready to begin, simply fill out the form below. A member of our staff will contact you. If you have any questions, please contact the office at (781)862-0335.
