The Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (OCIA) is faith process involving a series of courses and liturgical rites culminating in reception of the sacraments and being welcomed fully into the Catholic Church. 

OCIA is for adult Catholics:

•   Who are in need of Confirmation. 
•   From other faiths who are baptized and seek full communion in the Church. 
•   Who are not baptized and seek to become Catholic. 
•   Who desire to study the faith of the Catholic Church. 

OCIA is also for children over the age of 7 (OCIC) and those between 13 and 17 (OCIT). Mary Queen Catholic Church has a ministry dedicated to the spiritual and intellectual direction of those who desire to come into full communion with the Church or simply to learn more about the faith.
