The Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (OCIA) is a process of exploration and formation by which adults learn about the Catholic Faith while developing and deepening a relationship with the Lord. The spiritual journey, unique to each individual, takes place under the guidance of our Pastor, Msgr. John Zenz, and within the framework of study, prayer, worship and service.

Participants may be unbaptized seeking an understanding of faith and the Church; baptized Catholics who were never catechized; or those baptized in another Christian faith and interested in learning about Catholicism and being received into the Church.

Whether seeking to join the Church formally or simply searching for more meaning in life, we invite you to join us in prayer and conversation.  

For more information and to join the OCIA process, please contact Deborah Shinder, Pastoral Associate at 248.646.2244 x307.
