OCIA is the procedure for unbaptized adults and adults of other Christian Churches to become members of the Catholic Church,  OCIA deeply touches all aspects of Church life. To search, to belong, to mature, to be nourished, to continue growing, to love and be loved: these and others are fundamental stirrings of the human heart. Our lives are lived in a manner of seeking satisfaction of these very deep hungers throughout the journey of life. OCIA is the experience of discovering that one’s journey is caught up in the mystery of God’s loving plan for all people.
