OCIA at ICSJ
Beginning this Fall
Our OCIA journey is starting soon and it's not just for those becoming Catholic - it is also for baptized adults who are ready for First Communion, Confirmation, or simply a deeper connection. OCIA isn't a class - it's a path forward with prayer, learning and a community that walks with you. If you've been feeling a quiet nudge toward something deeper in your faith, this might be the time to take the next step.
