People come to an awareness of their desire to learn about membership in the Catholic Church in various ways. It may be a personal faith experience, overcoming a personal difficulty or relationship, or a discussion with a person of faith that leads one to begin this exciting journey. All that is truly required is a sincere desire to learn, grow, and develop one\u2019s relationship with God. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Participating in OCIA does not imply a commitment to join the Catholic Church. For those who desire to become a member of the Catholic Church, the OCIA process prepares them to receive the sacraments of Christian initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist) at the Easter Vigil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"note\">For more information, contact Mary Kramer at <a href=\"tel:5852651616\" data-type=\"tel\" data-id=\"tel:5852651616\">(585) 265-1616<\/a> ext. 306 or <em><a href=\"mailto:mvkramer75@gmail.com\">mary.kramer@dor.org<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading nobotmargin\">Order of Christian Initiation of Children <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading notopmargin\">(OCIA Adapted for Children)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This special program is intended for children who have reached the age of reason (7 years old) who have not been baptized and want to join the Catholic Church.
