What is OCIA for children (OCIA-C)?
OCIA for children is a process that invites any child aged 7 to 14 interested in searching the Catholic Faith to discover what the Catholic Church teaches and believes. It is a process that the Church created to bring into full communion with the Church all those who, for whatever reason, have not been Baptized (by the age of 7) or have not received the Sacraments of Reconciliation, Holy Eucharist, and Confirmation.
Who belongs in OCIA-C?- Unbaptized children and/or teens (Children over the age of 7)
- Children baptized in another Christian faith
- Children who may be baptized but who have not practiced their Catholic faith regularly.
There is no set length of time for the process as each child is unique and must be adapted to their growth in faith and understanding the importance of receiving the sacraments. Parents also have a significant role in the process as they inspire their children to embrace their faith journey and encourage their children to practice at home what they are learning in our classes. Mass attendance, classroom participation, and a willingness to learn are all required components for giving your child the opportunity to form a lifelong relationship with Jesus and a lifetime of practicing the Catholic Faith.
