Do I have to make a commitment to become Catholic before I begin the process?

What if I have already been baptized in another faith tradition? 

The next OCIA process for individuals who have been baptized in another faith tradition will begin January 2025. Please contact Bernadette Flowers at bflowers@ctking.com for the details.

What is the RCIA Process?

Throughout the history of Christianity, people of all faiths have found their way to the Catholic Church. While each person’s journey is as unique as the individual themselves, all are drawn to the one God and for the same purpose – to know Him, to love Him and to serve Him. The Order of Christian Initiation for Adults offers a program of faith formation, discipleship and fellowship for adults 18 years and older that will prepare them for full initiation/communion into the Catholic Church at Easter. Here’s an outline of the process.

What are the next steps?

Please complete the OCIA Information Form and gather your Baptismal and First Communion Certificates (where applicable). You will receive a link to make an interview appointment to speak with Bernadette Flowers, Associate Director of Adult Faith Formation, in the confirmation email.
