• Have you been away from the Church...and have now returned, but want to know more?
• Have you been a Catholic all your life, but never celebrated all of the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation)?
• Have you joined us from a different faith background, and would like to find out more about the Catholic Church?
• Do you know of anyone who has lapsed from the practice of their faith, and would respond to an invitation to return to our Father's House?

Care to Join the Team?

St. Joseph OCIA Ministry (Order of Christian of Adults) is a dedicated team of parishioners who walk and share the Catholic faith with those inquiring about the Roman Catholic faith; who are either committed to completing their Sacraments, or to becoming a baptized Catholic for the first time.

If you are interested in helping adults who have made the decision to become Catholic and/or to complete their Sacraments, then OCIA is the place for you. Come and join a team composed of fellow parishioners and experience the joy of renewing your faith through the OCIA candidates.

OCIA is a ministry that continues to grow our Catholic family year after year!

We look forward to hearing from you!

The OCIA Team
