The Order of Christian Initiation programs (formerly RCIA/RCIC) at Queen of Peace help form adults and children who have yet to be baptized, to be prepared to receive the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, and First Holy Communion) and profess our Catholic Faith.
Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (OCIA)
Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) is the program for adults 18 years of age and older who would like to join the Catholic Church by receiving all Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Holy Communion, and Confirmation). Once the program has been completed by the candidate, they will be welcomed into the Church at the Easter Vigil Mass. One who has been validly Baptized in another Christian tradition may also choose to attend this class to make a profession of faith, and to receive First Holy Communion and Confirmation at the end of the program. Classes are held September-May (Pentecost) and meet on Sundays immediately after the 9:00 am Mass until 11:30 am. To register for this class, or if you need more information, please submit form below or contact David Ortega at the parish office.
