The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA, formerly known as RCIA) is a process of instruction in what Catholics believe, how Catholics pray, and how Catholics live.  During the process, each person has time for personal study and conversion.  OCIA is open to all persons interested in the Catholic Church, needing to be baptized, confirmed, or receive first Holy Communion, or wanting to renew their faith.  Here is a preliminary schedule for 2026-27.  For further information, please call the parish office at (860) 445-1446 or Deacon Christopher Hammond at (860) 389-6623.
