Become Catholic - OCIA 

What is OCIA?

  • The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) is for Bishop Kelley students, faculty, and staff to become Catholic and receive the Sacraments of initiation - Baptism, Confirmation, and the Eucharist. The Order speaks of conversion as a “spiritual journey.” Centered on fostering a deep relationship with Jesus and the Church He founded, this journey takes place through distinct stages over a period of time suitable to bring about a thorough catechesis, significant experience of the community, and commitment to the liturgical and moral life of the Catholic faithful.
  • Meetings occur on a weekly basis.
  • If you are a student or faculty/staff member who is interested in becoming Catholic or who wants to learn more about the Catholic Church, please contact Fr. Jon Fincher at frfincher@bishopkelley.org
