  • Curious About the Catholic Faith?
    OCIA, or the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults, is a journey into the heart of the Catholic faith and community.  It's not just about receiving sacraments like Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist—it's a profound experience of renewal and connection within the parish family.
    Picture this: a spiritual journey where you deepen your relationship with Jesus and his Church.  It's a path of discovery and growth, carefully crafted to guide you through stages of learning, experiencing the parish's warmth, and embracing the rich traditions of Catholic life.

    Who is OCIA for?

    1. Adults and children (from the age 7 the age of reason) looking for Baptism. (Inquirer)
    2. Adults baptized in another Christian tradition who desire to become Catholic. (Candidate)
    3. Adults baptized Catholic and wish to complete their sacraments of initiation. (First Communion and Confirmation) (Candidate)

    How long does OCIA take?
    It's a unique journey that can last anywhere from ten months to three years.  We respect your personal path to faith and the time it takes to make heartfelt decisions.

    Ready to Begin?
    Reach out to Ruth Sanchez at [email protected] or 972-423-5600 x225.  Your one-on-one chat with Ruth is where your story meets the OCIA adventure.  Ask anything, share your journey—it's all about making this journey uniquely yours.

    ¿Tienes curiosidad por conocer la fe Católica?
    RICA, o el Ritual de Iniciación Cristiana de Adultos, es un encuentro del corazón con la fe y la comunidad católica.  No se trata sólo de recibir sacramentos como el Bautismo, la Confirmación y la Eucaristía, es una profunda experiencia de renovación y conexión dentro de la familia parroquial.
    Imagínate esto: una jornada espiritual en el que profundizas en tu relación con Jesús y su Iglesia. Es un camino de descubrimiento y crecimiento, cuidadosamente diseñado para guiarte a través de etapas de aprendizaje, experimentando el calor de la comunidad parroquial y abrazando las ricas tradiciones de la vida católica.

    ¿Para quién es RICA?

    1. Adultos y niños (a partir de los 7 años edad de la razón) que buscan el Bautismo. (Inquirer)
    2. Adultos bautizados en otra tradición cristiana que desean hacerse católicos. (Candidato).
    3. Adultos bautizados católicos que desean completar sus sacramentos de iniciación (Primera Comunión y Confirmación). (Candidato)

    ¿Cuánto dura RICA?
    Es una jornada única, que dura entre diez meses y tres años.  ¿Por qué?  Porque respetamos su camino personal hacia la fe y el tiempo que se necesita para tomar decisiones sinceras.

    ¿Listo para empezar?
    Ponte en contacto con Ruth Sánchez en [email protected] o en el 972-423-5600 x225. Su conversación personal con Ruth es donde su historia se encuentra con la aventura de RICA.  Pregunta lo que quieras, comparte tu historia - se trata de hacer que esta jornada sea únicamente tuyo.
