\"\"ORDER OF CHRISTIAN<\/strong> INITIATION OF ADULTS:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (O.C.I.A.) is a process by which adults, who have never been baptized are prepared to celebrate the\u00a0Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation and the Holy Eucharist). The program is open to those who have been baptized in other Christian faith communities to be received into full communion with the Catholic Church. Also accepted into the program are Catholics who have been baptized but did not receive Confirmation and Holy Eucharist.\u00a0 If are interested or know of someone who might be interested in learning more about the Catholic faith you are encouraged to contact Diane at OCIA@sercc.org or call the parish office to leave a message. 610-266-0695<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
