OCIA - Becoming Catholic

We are so glad you’re here and that you are interested in learning more about the Catholic Faith.  The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) is an information & discernment process into which you can enter.  This process is for anyone older than the "age of reason," which is 2nd grade & older & includes anyone 7 years & older.  During this process, you will learn about various aspects of the Catholic Faith.

• Enrollment in the program does not require a commitment to join the Catholic Church. 
• You will have the opportunity to decide whether or not you wish to move forward after learning about the Catholic Faith and going through a discernment process.
• Please call or email our Director of Evangelization & Faith Formation, Denise Brickler, ([email protected] or 314-780-8898) to discuss, or please fill out the inquirer form below (again, filling out the inquiry form does not require a commitment to become Catholic).
