OCIA Invitation

Are you looking to deepen your understanding of the Catholic faith? Do you have questions about God, Jesus, or the Church that you are longing to explore? Have you felt a calling to become part of the Catholic community? If so, we warmly invite you to join the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) at St. Therese of Lisieux.

OCIA is a faith journey designed for those considering joining the Catholic Church or wanting to learn more about it. This program is open to:

  • Those who are not baptized
  • Those who are baptized in another Christian tradition and wish to become Catholic
  • Catholics who were baptized but did not receive further formation or sacraments

Through OCIA, you will have the opportunity to explore the teachings of the Church, engage in meaningful discussions, and grow spiritually in a supportive community. The program includes weekly sessions where we cover a variety of topics related to faith and practice, as well as opportunities for prayer and reflection.

If you are interested in joining OCIA or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Chris Piebiak at chrisp@stol.church or (586) 254-4433. We are here to support you every step of the way. We look forward to walking this faith journey with you and helping you discover the richness and depth of the Catholic faith.
