The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (formerly RCIA) is the process established by the universal Church for individuals to become Catholic and receive the Sacraments of Initiation— Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist. Centered on fostering a deep relationship with Jesus and the Church he founded, this journey takes place through distinct stages over a period suitable to bring about a through catechesis, significant experience of the parish community, and commitment to the liturgical and moral life of the Catholic faithful.  Meetings are held every Wednesday evening from 6:30 – 8:00 in the Family Life Center.  Please contact MJ Antone at 904-222-0608 or by email at mjstpaulre@gmail.com to learn more and to schedule an appointment.

If you have a child over the age of seven who has not been baptized, we have a special OCIA adapted for children to enable them to celebrate the sacraments of initiation at the Easter Vigil as well.  Contact Carol Burns at 904-249-2660 or cburns@stpaulsjaxbeach.org.
