  This is the first step in a lifelong journey of discipleship! This is the Catholic Church’s process to bring people, through study, spiritual growth, and community, into the heart of Holy Mother Church. Formally, it is called the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA), which is our formation process for adults who desire to follow Jesus Christ and be a member of His Catholic Church.
