Our partner parishes will begin the next OCIA session on Monday, September 16th. This is an opportunity to learn more about the Catholic faith in a small group setting. Weekly meetings focus on Jesus and the teachings of the Church. They also prepare individuals to celebrate the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist at the Easter Vigil. There are separate sessions for children or youth. You are welcome to participate in the process with your questions, your insights and your faith story in a friendly setting. All are welcome!
If you would like more information about the next OCIA, contact the parish administration center at 724-225-1425, ext. 201.
