OCIA INFORMATION MEETING
Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them, ‘What are you looking for?’  They said to him, ‘Rabbi’ (which translated means Teacher), ‘where are you staying?’  He said to them, ‘Come and you will see…’”
                                                        John 1: 38-39
                   Life is filled with invitations….
                   Are you ready to accept this one?
  
 Join us for an Informational Evening
 Wednesday, June 11, 2025—6:30pm
St. Matthew’s Social Hall
 
              Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (OCIA)
                        An Invitation to Journey in Faith
 
All people who are open to discerning their personal experience of faith and learning more about the Catholic community of faith are welcome to begin the OCIA process.  The OCIA process is designed especially for:
 
¨ Adults never baptized who might desire to become a Catholic.
¨ Adults baptized in another Christian church who might desire to become a Catholic.
¨  Adults baptized Catholic who have not received the sacraments of Eucharist, Reconciliation or Confirmation.
 
Our St. Matthew’s O.C.I.A. sessions are held every week from September  through May at  St. Matthew’s, with the day and time to be determined.   Everyone is welcome.  To register or for more information on the OCIA journey please call OCIA Coordinator Angie Diamond at
518-765-2805.
