St. Joseph - Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (OCIA)
The Order of Christian Initiation for Adults, or OCIA, formerly known as the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults, or RCIA, is a highly interactive class designed to explain the Catholic faith and the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. The term RCIA is now reserved solely for the actual rite of entry into the Church, which includes the reception of Sacraments, usually done at Easter Vigil.
Every year, we spend 30 sessions exploring, enjoying, and rejoicing together in our faith. Those who want to join the Catholic Church are required to complete OCIA, but all are welcome.
Come and experience the genius of Catholicism, Christ's true Church on earth!
"There are not over a 100 people in the U.S. that hate the Catholic Church, there are millions however, who hate what they wrongly believe to be the Catholic Church, which is, of course, quite a different thing." - Archbishop Fulton Sheen
Classes are held on Wednesdays, 6:30pm to 8:00pm, in the Library or O'Donovan Hall at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Sandpoint, Idaho. Please see the schedule below for more specifics.
