OCIA Adapted for Children (OCIAC)

• Registration for the OCIA adapted for Children 2024-2025 will open on April 1st.  The OCIA adapted for children follows the same calendar as our Children's Faith Formation classes. To see the current calendar, click here to go to the Elementary School (CFF) webpage, and scroll down to "Other Forms".

The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults Adapted for Children is intended for unbaptized children and youth who have attained the use of reason (7 and above). This process is based on the OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation of Adults). The Christian initiation of these children requires both a conversion that is personal and somewhat developed in proportion to their age.

 Participants in OCIA Adapted for Children celebrate the rites proper to the initiation process and receive the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist) at the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday night.

 The OCIA Adapted for Children sessions are held on Monday from 4:30 – 5:30 PM, beginning in September and concluding in May.

• For more information regarding the process, please email [email protected] or call Dawn Street at 317.753.6719 or the Parish Office at 317.846.3878.
