Order of Christian Initiation for Adults
Adults who wish to become Christians through the sacrament of Baptism are prepared for this event through a process of study and prayer known as the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults. (OCIA)
How long does it take?
The Sacraments of Initiation are usually celebrated at the Easter Vigil and the Church requires preparation to last for at least one year. So the process take about a year from around September in one year to Easter a year (for example, September 2024 to Easter 2025).
