Emmaus: Becoming Catholic (OCIA)
Learning about the Catholic Faith
If you are discerning a call to become Catholic, have questions about the faith, or would like to return to church after time away, the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) is for you. It’s part of our Emmaus program where we walk with you, encountering God’s love through fellowship, learning, and prayer.
Emmaus is held most Thursday evenings during the school year, 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. A family meal is included each week. The nursery is available for children under 3 years of age and religious education is available for children under 12.
Registration for Emmaus 2026-2027
will Open in June.
Emily Kamp, Adult Faith Formation Coordinator, is happy to answer your questions. To reach her, complete the form below.
