Adult Faith Formation
The Adult Faith Formation programs at Christ the King - St. Stephen provide opportunities for you to grow deeper in your faith and build a community of peers.
Welcome to the Faith!
Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA)
Are you or someone you know:
- Curious about becoming Catholic?
- Baptized Catholic and now interested in receiving additional sacraments?
- Drifted away from the Church but interested in renewal?
- Never been baptized – or been baptized in another denomination?
- Married to a Catholic and quietly wondered about the faith?
- Simply searching for meaning, healing, or hope?
Our Order of Christian Initiation (OCIA) process incorporates two engaging programs:
- OCIA: Becoming Catholic – for those who are not Catholic and are interested in exploring the faith
- OCIA: Adult Confirmation – for Catholics who are baptized but have not
completed their sacraments of initiation (Baptism, First Eucharist, and
Confirmation)
In these programs, adults engage in a personal faith journey by exploring the teaching and traditions of the Catholic faith. Interest is welcomed at any time and you are invited to explore without commitment.
No qualifications are necessary other than sincere interest in a journey of faith. Any adult is welcome to participate.
Meeting: Most Thursdays
Time & Location: 7:00 - 8:30 pm in Rooms A/B adjacent to the parish hall.
