OCIA- Becoming Catholic

ARE YOU SOMEONE OR DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO…

Has expressed an interest in becoming Catholic, but was never baptized?

Was baptized in another faith and might like to become Catholic?

Was baptized Catholic, but missed the Sacraments of Eucharist and Confirmation?

Has a child over the age of seven who has not been baptized?

 OCIA, The Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (and for Children), offers the opportunity to come together in a group setting to learn more about the Catholic Faith.  Sessions focus on the teachings, traditions, and experiences of the Catholic Church, which help to prepare individuals to celebrate the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist.  All are welcome to participate in the inquiry process by bringing your questions, your insights, and your faith story to our introductory meetings.  Here at St. Paul’s, our next OCIA session will begin on Wednesday, August 20th, 2025, at 6:30 PM in the Family Life Center. For more information or to schedule an interview to register, please contact MJ Antone at 904-222-0608 or by email at mjstpaulre@gmail.com.  To register children, please contact Carol Burns at 904-249-2660 or by email at cburns@stpaulsjaxbeach.org.
